Hi, In addition to the strptime change that Darren has just committed to fix Irix, I have committed a change to ssh(1) that affects all platforms: > - djm at cvs.openbsd.org 2010/08/12 21:49:44 > [ssh.c] > close any extra file descriptors inherited from parent at start and > reopen stdin/stdout to /dev/null when forking for ControlPersist. > > prevents tools that

This is a Redhat 9 box doing nightly updates from FedoraLegacy.org. I have a script of the whole session if needed. -Bill ---- ok transfer data run test banner.sh ... test banner: missing banner file cmp: EOF on /home/flowerpt/src/openssh/openssh/regress/empty.in missing banner file test banner: size 0 cmp: EOF on /home/flowerpt/src/openssh/openssh/regress/banner.in banner size 0 mismatch test

i want to be able to suppress the banner from the client side (ssh/slogin/scp/sftp) but i don't see a way to do it cleanly. for example, if there were a -B flag that suppressed the banner that would be alright. i did try -q, but that suppresses all stderr, which is unacceptable since i do want to see the error output when ssh fails to know why it failed. another idea would be to have -q

...is not too well documented but I think we have figured most of this out (hearty thanks to Wietse Venema, Jim Mintha & Niels Provos for their helpful email exchanges) -- but have one final question. Tcp wrappers can send out banner messages in response to various network service requests. The Banners.makefile that is used to create the various banner files from a prototype (inserting any special content that a particular service protocol such as ftp might require) does contain this comment: # Other services: banners may interfere with normal operation # so they should probably be used on...

A user at a Windows PC uses our SSH client software (Anzio) to access a Linux sshd. User would like the banner from the server to display BEFORE entering a login name. According to the SSH spec, this should be allowed. But the OpenSSH source seems to have specifically prevented this. Is there a good reason for this? Regards, ....Bob Rasmussen, President, Rasmussen Software, Inc.

I've had this problem as long as I've been using samba: every time anyone prints from a PC they get a banner page labeling them 'nobody.' Now, I realize this has to do with the guest account being 'nobody,' and the server is passing that name to the printer. It can get very frustrating, though, when lots of folks use the same printer and all of the jobs have the same name

...sion: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P4 Component: ssh AssignedTo: openssh-unix-dev at mindrot.org ReportedBy: cowboym at shmoo.com The Banner directive available in SSH v2 provides a nice, easy method for displaying login banners that are required in some corporate environments for security policy compliance. However, when writing scripts that connect noninteractively to remote hosts, the banner is still displayed. If these scripts are to be run from crontab, for example, the banner output is mailed to the user since...

Hi. It would be of utmost utility if there were a way to cause the sshd "banner" configuration setting to only print the banner in certain circumstances. What I'm actually after is avoiding printing out the banner for non-interactive sessions, so that if I run "ssh somehost ls" I don't get the login banner, but if I just type "ssh somehost" I do (at

Hi SSH developer community I am using CVS over SSH (and SSH in other cases too) and in a certain context it is very annoying to get the SSH banner displayed all the time when using e.g. CVS. Is there a way to set negative verbosity or to otherwise quell the banner information in SSH (or, worse, in CVS). I have tried ssh -q but that does _not_ quell the banner. Best Johan (I am not a

I am running Openssh 4.4p1 on a Solaris 9 server. I would like the accting service account to be able to run accounting scripts from a central server without the standard pre-login banner. At the end of the sshd_config file I have the following, where /etc/nobanner is an empty file: Banner /etc/issue Match User accting Banner /etc/nobanner When an attempt is made to restart sshd, the

Last week I sent a question here about suppressing NT's banners, so that a LPR->SMB gateway running on Linux could provide its own banner pages. I got around that problem by having the NT guys create me a new queue, with headers suppressed, but found to my surprise that merely omitting "sh" in /etc/printcap did not cause Linux to print header sheet...

...th non-interactive use. ssh -q option can suppress this of course, but also suppresses potentially helpful diagnostics. Non-interactive banner output considerably clutters error logs, cron job output, etc.; and postprocessing error logs to remove such garbage is tedious and error prone, since the banners may contain almost anything, be changed, etc. Despite the arguable uselessness of banner output for non-interactive sessions, there may be places with lawyers anal enough to insist on it. Therefore, I suggest that suppressing it in that instance should be an option rather than a change to default...

Hi, I would like to add a small section about "Banners" to "Securing OpenSSH" and then link it to the "Banner Files". Any objections ? or is this a task for the author ? Kind regards Mats Ref.: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Network/SecuringSSH http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/BannerFiles

I have been unable to use the Banner option in the sshd_config for the verision of openssh I am using: # ssh -V SSH Version OpenSSH_2.1.1, protocol versions 1.5/2.0. Compiled with SSL (0x0090704f). Here is what I get when I have the entry "Banner /etc/issue" in the sshd_config: starting SSHD daemon # /usr/local/etc/sshd_config: line 21: Bad configuration option: Banner

Can someone tell me how to configure my unix printers so that no banner page is printed at the beginning of a print job? I have gotten the printing to work, but I want to stop the banner page. What file do I change to configure that? AIX, 4.2.1, with NT Clients. Thanks in Advance, Pattee Bender Uniform Color Company

i set up a print server using samba and cups and it seems to be working fine but in my environment it is vital for each printjob to have a banner with netbios name on it. eg i have 700 public computers and 4 printers so i need each computer to print a banner with the hostname to distinguish who prints what. i tried to set it up on the client side but it doesnt seem to be working. any help would be

Here is a patch to add colour to build output (make) for LLVM sources. Feedback and ideas welcome. The patch replaces $(Echo) usage in some key rules in Makefile.rules with $(Banner) which invokes a new script utils/make-banner.sh which is capable of adding appropriate ANSI escape sequences. step1: apply patch step2: chmod 755 utils/make-banner.sh step3: export MAKE_BANNER_ANSI=1 Next, you must

hi all, we had quite a few requests recently so that SunSSH allowed to hush a banner on client side when in command-mode only. The argument usually is that the banner is mandatory due to legal reasons so first time login users should see it but that it causes problems when ssh is used from scripts after that. '-q' often seems not an option. RFC 4252 permits hushing banner in section

Hi all. I'd like to know if someone knows how to implement a banner to be prompted just after a connection to a server is initialized. It's necessary doing that to warm who is trying to access the server just for security. Regards, Glauco
