...on that the tty name is of >the form "/dev/" + something else on the end. I'm not sure why the pam_sm_open_session in pam_unix on Solaris now does this: /* report error if ttyn or rhost are not set */ if ((ttyn == NULL) || (rhost == NULL)) return (PAM_SESSION_ERR); /* sanity check on size of tty line */ if (strlen(ttyn) < sizeof("/dev/")) return (PAM_SESSION_ERR); later on it uses everything after the /dev/ as the short name tty to write to lastlog. This was part of the fix for 4250887. The fix will appear in...

With OpenSSH 2.9.9p2 as the server, I'm not able to do scp or "ssh machinename command" in general to any of my Suns! I tracked this down a bit; the problem occurs only when PAM support is enabled. However, if I remove line 430 of session.c, "do_pam_session(s->pw->pw_name, NULL);" inside of do_exec_no_pty, the problem goes away. It looks like the following entry

My company, which is a mac-heavy shop in the printing industry, needed to migrate to a faster file server. As our directory trees are very large, both Samba, and Netatalk were bogging down badly on our Linux server (Samba, due to heavy CPU usage during directory listings - the case-sensitive file system issue, and netatalk because the cnid db was getting too big). Our solution was to switch to a
