...patch to simplify this ancient cruft so that it works the way that Vile does things. This patch shouldn't require any change to any of the programs I looked into, but I'll CC: this to bug-bash, bug-gawk, and openssh-unix-dev to give them a heads-up. 2001-09-17 Paul Eggert <eggert at twinsun.com> * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions): AC_FUNC_GETPGRP now merely checks whether it is an error to pass an argument to getpgrp. * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (_AC_FUNC_GETPGRP_TEST): Remove. (AC_FUNC_GETPGRP): Don't bother with a runtime test. Just check whether it is a (com...

I found this problem on 32-bit Solaris 8 sparc. session.c uses two void functions without declaring them first; this violates the C standard, which requires declarations for such functions. Here's a patch. 2001-09-28 Paul Eggert <eggert at twinsun.com> * session.c (do_pre_login, record_utmp_only): Add missing declarations. =================================================================== RCS file: session.c,v retrieving revision 2.9.9.2 retrieving revision 2.9.9.2.0.1 diff -pu -r2.9.9.2 -r2.9.9.2.0.1 --- session.c 2001/09/1...

A rather distressing timestamp issue (to multiple users here). Anyone seen similar behavior or have a suggestion/solution? Problem: Opening and closing an excel file (no changes/keystrokes to file) on the Samba server causes the file to be saved with time stamp of closing. (There is no autosave set on Excel - also see other info below) MS Excel 97 SR-2 NT 4.0 SP5 Solaris 2.6 or 2.7 (2

...unsigned char)X. Here is a patch. This patch occasionally uses '0'<=X && X<='9' rather than isdigit(X), as it's faster on most modern hosts (a subtract and a compare, rather than a reference through memory and then a test). 2001-09-28 Paul Eggert <eggert at twinsun.com> * canohost.c (get_remote_hostname): Don't pass negative chars to ctype macros. * match.c (match_hostname): Likewise. * openbsd-compat/base64.c (b64_ntop): Likewise. * openbsd-compat/inet_aton.c (inet_aton): Likewise. * openbsd-compat/mktemp.c (_gettemp): Likewise. * openbsd-comp...

Hello all, we are experiencing problems with samba 2.0.6 and the MKS touch command. during our builds, we touch files and directories so that our make dependencies work correctly. Unfortunately, it seems that MKS' touch.exe doesn't actually change the time stamp of a file or directory. The command returns without an error, but the timestamp does not change. The same problem exists

...n't an actual problem at runtime on this host, as long and int are the same width, but it is a problem on other hosts where pid_t is wider than int. E.g., I've heard that 64-bit AIX has 64-bit pid_t in some compilation environments. Here is a patch. 2001-09-28 Paul Eggert <eggert at twinsun.com> * authfile.c (key_perm_ok): Work even if system integer types are 'long', not 'int'. * entropy.c (prng_check_seedfile, prng_write_seedfile, prng_read_seedfile): Likewise. * serverloop.c (server_loop, server_loop2): Likewise. * session.c (session_dump, session...

I ran into the following problem the first time I used OpenSSH_3.6.1p2 on Solaris 8 (sparc, 32-bit): $ ssh kiwi Enter passphrase for RSA key '/net/sic/export/ford/home/eggert/.ssh/identity': getsockopt TCP_NODELAY: Socket operation on non-socket Last login: Sat May 10 14:27:01 2003 from ip-66-80-53-59.d Sun Microsystems Inc.

openssh-2.9.9p2/configure.in says: # Disabled until it works on SCO and HPUX #AC_SYS_LARGEFILE As an autoconf maintainer I'd like to fix this. Can you please explain what's broken on SCO and HPUX? I'm puzzled by the comment, as AC_SYS_LARGEFILE is a feature introduced in autoconf 2.50, whereas openssh-2.9.9p2/configure was built with autoconf 2.13. Anyway, some older GNU
