Hi, If anyone has managed to get sshd to run as a subsystem in the System Resource Controller under AIX 4.3.3 (a la mkssys), then please let me know how you did it... I can mkssys and startsrc it, but it dies immediately, leaving a child sshd running with another PID than startsrc reported, and lssrc reports sshd inoperative. Is sshd a process that should stay in foreground, not forking? Or does it fork every time to...

All: I am running on an AIX 5.3 platform and I am looking to see if anybody has a script similar to this (see below) that will work under AIX. My goal is, on boot up I want to have samba started automatically. Can somebody let me what I have to do (on AIX) for this to happen. #!/bin/sh # # /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb - starts and stops SMB services. # # The following

...inly based on examples from the IBM Redbook "Writing Reliable AIX Daemons". The SRC request handler supports START, STOP, REFRESH and STATUS requests (the status part might still need some extensions, i've added it mainly for version checks) to register the sshd as a subsystem use: mkssys -s sshd -G tcpip -p <pathto>/sshd -u 0 -K -R Frank __________________________________________________________________ Gesendet von Yahoo!

...ual, and is located in > /usr/local/sbin. Have you tried starting it with "/usr/local/sbin/sshd" ? Personally, I use the AIX system resource controller to manage sshd. This has the advantage of automatically restarting it if it ever falls over. The following command sets it up: mkssys -s sshd -u 0 -p /usr/local/sbin/sshd -G tcpip -R -S -n 15 -f 9 Now sshd can be controlled with: startsrc -s sshd stopsrc -s sshd Trying to stop the daemon any other way (e.g. kill -9) means it gets automatically restarted by SRC. You kick it off on startup in /etc/rc.tcpip in the same w...

I'm new to using openSSH on AIX and want to know how others are launching and maintaing sshd. I see where sshd has a -i option for use with inetd, but I am thinking about adding the AIX SRC APIs so that I can use the commands: lssrc, startsrc and stopsrc to maintain the daemon. -- Denise M.

The -R automatically restarts SSH if it ever falls over. SSH requires the -D option to prevent it forking (a requirement of the SRC). You can then add this to /etc/r...

I hope someone can help. I've installed 2.9p2 on a number of AIX boxes and it works great. The problem is that a HUGE >700 number of defunct processes get generated by sshd. Did I do something wrong ? Any suggestions ? Please email chuck at fiu.edu as I don't subscribe to the list. TIA, Chuck -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

We are heading into a lock here. So we need to get people to test their respective platforms if they wish them to be supported out of the tar file. So if you have any patches you need to ensure your platform works speak up. We are looking at a lock on the 17th. I believe I have an AIX/Cray patch and a Tru64 patch sitting in my mailbox that I'll be looking at soon and more than likely
