...3.7p1 sshd on Solaris 8 / sparcv9: sshd runs fine, and starts to allow the login. However, when reading from /etc/default/login, I get a bus error. I am able to get sshd to work by commenting out these lines in session.c: 1015,1018c1015 < # ifdef HAVE_ETC_DEFAULT_LOGIN < read_etc_default_login(&env, &envsize, pw->pw_uid); < path = child_get_env(env, "PATH"); < # endif /* HAVE_ETC_DEFAULT_LOGIN */ Here is an truss of the failure: 1904: open("/etc/default/login", O_RDONLY) = 7 1904: fstat(7, 0xFFFFFFFF7FFFD7F0)...

I compiled openssh 3.7.1p1 on Solaris 9 with the Forte compiler in 64-bit mode. After authentication, a forked child of sshd dies with a Bus Error in `read_etc_default_login' (session.c). The reason is the use of `sscanf' with control string "%5lo" on a `mode_t' value. On Solaris in 64-bit mode, `mode_t' is an `unsigned int' (32 bits), whereas `long' is 64 bits. Here is a change that fixed the problem for me. You might want to fix...

I had a problem much like the one that Matthias Koeppe experienced. I would only get the BUS error when running in a YASSP-modified system, though. The binary worked fine on a non-YASSP host. I applied his change to use a long for the mask, and it works now. Cheers, -Thomas __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Shopping - with improved product search

Hi, below is a patch which simply removes a Cygwin-specific piece of code from OpenSSH. Input from a system admin educated me how useful this option could be on Cygwin as well. However, way back when the call to read_etc_default_login got disabled on Cygwin hardcoded in session.c, rather than just setting --disable-etc-default-login when building the Cygwin version of OpenSSH. So, here's the patch which simply re-enables reading /etc/default/login on Cygwin. However, even when removing this Cygwin-specific patch, there'...
