..._could_ change it in ssh.h but then I'd have to do this every time. Am I best to put in a -DPIDDIR="/etc" or something? Alternatively, would it be easy to change the configure.in stuff to let me do a --pid-dir="/etc" or a --pid-file="/etc/ssh.pid"?

...conf (plus ca change, eh?!) that seems to have #defined lastlog to be "", rather than leaving it undefined. Nothing untoward seems to have happened due to this but it probably wants sorting. Can someone more qualified in autoconf point me in the direction of the solution? Thanks, Andrew Stribblehill Systems programmer, IT Service, University of Durham, England.

...ssh-add to drop its keys when it blanked the screen. Would the attached script (which does just that) be worth adding to the contrib directory? It would also be useful to give ssh-agent a facility to drop its keys after some time of inactivity. How easy would this be to implement?

...number of users with an NFS-mounted /var/mail directory) is it sensible to put a configure option in to disable this part? I attach a patch to do this. It adds a configure option, --without-lsmail. I'm not terribly happy with its name and I haven't patched any of the docs.

...now im back into the install cd, trying to figure out how to install grub like the install should have done for me, but there is no grub command at the prompt (trying to use tab completion) im ready to hurt something im so frustrated, can anyone help me out here? ive seen http://www.dur.ac.uk/a.d.stribblehill/mirrored_grub.html but without the grub command that page is useless.

...what a horrible word!) so I presume I have to match on both *.dur.ac.uk and *-without-any-dots-in-it. How do I do this in practice?

hi, i am told that ssh-keygen gets bus errors on solaris 2.6? has anyone heard about this before? thanks -markus

Evenin', I would like to know, why "OpenSSH ssh-add" doesn't support the -p (pipe) option of "Ssh-1.2.X shh-add"? I used it several time within scripts, like ./whisperpassphrase | ssh-add -p Well, I know this is some kind of security by obscurity, but this has been proven to be handy.

Howdy, I recently had a problem with one of our servers (crashed due to power failure :-). While this shouldn't have been a problem for most of the workstations and servers on the network I noticed that I wasn't able to use ssh anymore. Ssh would simply hang during the connection. rsh and telnet however were able to connect without problem so there was no problem with the destination or

I have a p4 motherboard with 2 ide interfaces, I connect 2 40 GB drives as hda and hdc, I install Centos 4 from a CDROM, and partition the drives as 2 x raid partition each plus a swap partition on hda, the make md0 and md1 to install /boot and / respectively. Install goes well, everything looks great, go to reboot from drives, and all I get is "grub" but no boot. I have tried this ten

subject: ssh non-intuitive logging setting (priority names). I installed openssh 2.3.0p1 on Solaris 7 for x86 box and sshd worked fine. However, somehow the logging of connection and disconnection to sshd was not recorded as I wished. Time to investigate. On a host where sshd from data-fellows once ran, the log was recorded with auth.info level. After trying to modify sshd_config, I found that

Hi, I've been playing with CentOS quite a bit lately (and I must say it's growing on me!! :) and I was now able to convince my boss that we could get a box and gradually start migrating our hosting from win2k3 to centos. So anyway, I've got a new box at the colo ready up and running - P4 3Ghz w/HT 2Ghz RAM 2x70Gb HDD, running Centos4.4 fully up-to-date. Now my two questions are;
