The story of this problem, AFAIK, is that Solaris 8 YASSP and JASS and vigilant/paranoid sysadmins have been known to set a restricitve umask in /etc/default/login. OpenSSH compatibility for Solaris 8 has been spotty at times for sparcv9 targets. This time, when a sparcv9 binary tries to sscanf(3C) the numeric umask as a long octal and put it in a mode_t, SIGBUS happens. What this looks like in

...9;t --- thank God --- remember.] When I was in graduate school, lo these many years ago, I had a friend who was a very right-wing person from the South of the U. S. and who might have been expected to have some sympathy with Ayn Rand's views. This friend had a gift for succinct and pithy aphorisms. He remarked: ``Anyone who can say `Existence exists' with a straight face is either a fool or a charlatan.'' cheers, Rolf Turner rolf at math.unb.ca

Reason. I have a fax/ans phone with handset, that lets you monitor the caller, so if you wish, you can pickup the call. The asterisk is undergoing testing, it will then be online tested at the house so I can get more familiar in setting components up, e.g. sip phones, voicemail, transfers etc. But, I really need the monitoring of the Voicemall being left, with the ability to pick up the

Hello, ? I'm trying to configure my system such that I have a TCP port listening which will send all data it receives to a serial port. ie:?? tcp/2112? -->? /dev/ttyS0 My goal would be to be able to: Use netcat to create the listen and redirect to a serial port: ? $ nc -l 2112 > /dev/ttyS0 Then in another window, run minicom at /dev/ttyS0 Then in a 3rd window, ? $ telnet localhost

I write about R every weekday at the Revolutions blog: http://blog.revolutionanalytics.com and every month I post a summary of articles from the previous month of particular interest to readers of r-help. In case you missed them, here are some articles related to R from the month of April: The Heritage Health Prize, a competition to build predictive models for hospitalization with USD$3.2M in

Hello, I'm a Mac OS X user, and I got tired of typing my password every time I want to login, but didn't want to use ssh-agent and the like. So, I grabbed the code for OpenSSH 3.7p1, and made some modifications which allow passwords to be stored and recalled from the OS X Keychain. The reason I'm posting to this list is that I'd like to make these modifications available to

Fortunately, it just involves reformatting the data and a little reconmfiguration of dovcot. If you can find the tool and disk space, it's well worth doing. Of course, when running a proverbial

I think what Mr. Farr is referring to is keychain support. Keychain is provided as part of OS X. Apple published an API for it. An OS X compile would store and retrieve keys from Keychain in lieu/addition to the SSH Agent. Keychain is to OS-X what the ssh-agent is to ssh. This makes perfect sense, and I haven't been sufficiently peeved to do this yet, but I have dreamt of this myself. It

On Solaris, if you create a banner file /etc/issue it will do what I think you want. However, it comes in on stderr from your ssh client, so you need to do complicated things to get clean output from stderr of remote commands. Does anyone know if this is different from the banner option in the sshd_config that everyone's been talking about? On Jan 15, 2004, at 7:13 PM,

The shell that executes on the remote server takes input in the form of shell commands before it issues a prompt. When you redirect commands from ssh client to a shell on the remote server there is usually a trailing EOF to tell the shell to exit. If the shell gets an EOF it should not respond with a prompt. Also, some shells decide whether or not to issue a prompt by TTY detection.

OpenSSH depends heavily upon OpenSSL. Both cleanly build 64 bit binaries. In the case of sparcv9 binaries, you should probably make sure you have *both* 32bit and 64bit OpenSSL binaries installed, and take extra care to configure your so library paths. On systems that are 100% 64bit, (Linux, FreeBSD in my experience) it just works. On Feb 28, 2006, at 9:23 AM, openssh-unix-dev-request at

This problem can be solved by chowning the rc (and user conf files) files to some other user and chmod'ing the group and other write bits off. I say this because usually, when people use "ForceCommand" the intention is to severely restrict a particular account. Going down this path requires that you do a lot of homework around restricted shells/profiles/etc. and changes you
