I have a couple of questions regarding openssh.spec and the rpm that gets generated from it. I am using 2.3.0p1 1. Why is openssl a prereq? openssh statically links to openssl during build by default (rightfully so, you don't want your security library a shared object if possible) 2. I don't understand the following line in the spec file during the install step (it makes it not build for

I've been using ssh for a while now (both fsecure and openssh), but am not an expert on security. I was wondering whether the following is secure: I create a key pair, trusted & trusted.pub I run sshd on a server (no telnet, rsh or other services). I create a user "guest", and put "trusted.pub" in my authorized file. I give away "trusted" (the private key)

just wondering about this. i noticed "make install" installs ssh-keyscan group-writable. is this intentional? openssh-2.5.2p2/Makefile.in, line 168: $(INSTALL) -m 0775 -s ssh-keyscan $(DESTDIR)$(bindir)/ssh-keyscan chris -- Christopher Linn, <celinn at mtu.edu> | By no means shall either the CEC Staff System Administrator | or MTU be held in any way liable

I have an openssh server running on solaris 7 and the client running on a clean RH linux 6.1 box. I am using the latest release (2.1.1p1 -- i had the known solaris utmp problem and the read_key problem when using 2.1.0p2 so i upgraded). scp from the linux machine to solaris machine gives a "lost connection" message [root at dog /root]# scp foo.bar solmachine:/tmp/ lost connection the

>From what I understand, the problem is due to people's disagreement about what the "correct" behavior should be. I'm pretty sure that the following is the correct behavior from running rsh and ssh often (both fsecure and openssh). Lets say you have a stupid script that does while 1 do sleep 1 done Called foreverSleep on your remote host: rsh remotehost

Greetings - I don't think this is a bug; just something I don't understand. I'm using RedHat Linux v7.0 with an i686 processor. I've been using openssl v0.9.5a with openssh v2.2.1 I've upgraded to openssl v0.9.6b and openssh v2.9.p2 I've built both packages with the '--prefix=/usr' option. During the openssh 'make install' at 'host-key' I get

This is regarding openssh 2.3.0p1 (the following problem was seen on Linux client / server): I have a problem with openssh when i don't "login": ie. i do the following: ssh -2 10.1.6.13 echo 0 It doesn't print the "0". However, i can get it to print the "0" by doing the following: ssh -2 10.1.6.13 echo 0 \; sleep 1 using "ssh -2 10.1.6.13"

This problem does not fit into the normal sleep 20 &; exit hanging problem. Basically, we use ssh as a secure RPC mechanism to install / update RPMs remotely. The problem is ssh "hangs" after installing an RPM "sometimes". And, no, that RPM does not start any daemons or hold onto any fds / ttys. Attached is various lsof / strace / ps / etc. information on the server

Batch mode does not require ssh-agent. Useful in non-interactive scripts (you don't want a any questions blocking your script). It also supresses the "host key not found, are you sure you want to continue connecting?" question. (basically fails instead unless some conf variable is set to ignore it). -rchit -----Original Message----- From: woods at weird.com [mailto:woods at
