Here is a patch to scp made against openssh-2.1.1p2 that adds the -L option to scp. The -L option tells scp to use nonprivilaged ports (by passing ssh the -P option). The non-free ssh's scp has this option, and it is required under some firewall setups (like mine) for scp to function. Please let me know if there are any problems with this patch, or if there is anything I can do to help get

Precedence: bulk Hi folks, It seemed to me that it would be useful to be able to control access to my server with the /etc/ssh_known_hosts file, using RSA authentication of the remote host. But the protocol only allows RSA host authentication in conjunction with rhosts, while I prefer RSA user authentication. I've made a patch to the server which adds a new configuration option:

Hi, the following patch to contrib/cygwin/ssh-host-config creates /etc/ssh_config and /etc/sshd_config according to the current default config files. Could somebody please check it in?

I found this problem when working with the Suse9.1 distribution, but have since reproduced it with a vanilla build of Openssh (openssh-3.9p1.tar.gz). Basically I cannot get a command like this: XXXX>ssh -vvv -1 -o "RhostsAuthentication yes" AAAA to work. Yes the appropriate settings are in the servers sshd_config file. Hostbased protocol 1 ssh using rhosts between computers is

All: I have a problem connecting Openssh 3.0.2p1 on Solaris 8 using hostname authentication for non-root users. When I connect to the sshd from a second machine as root it works fine using HostbasedAuthentication, but it always fails with non-root users. I suspect that I am having a permissions problem somewhere, but I'll be damned if I can figure out where. Any and all help

Hi, could anybody with check in privileges apply the following patch to the contrib cygwin directory? It only updates ssh-host-config to create the *_config files matching the latest versions in the top level dir and it updates a version number in README. Thanks in advance, Corinna Index: contrib/cygwin/README =================================================================== RCS file:

Hi, the following patch patches the files in contrib/cygwin. The changes are necessary to allow a better support of privilege separation. On NT machines the script asks now if it should create a user called "sshd" and all that. Additionally it creates the /etc/ssh_config and /etc/sshd_config files follows the latest versions. Would you mind to apply this to the official OpenSSH

Hello all, It seems that RhostsAuthentication does not work on non-default port no matter what when connecting from OpenSSH (2.1.1, 2.2.0 tried) either with protocol 1 or protocol 2 (shouldn't work either..). _However_ when connecting with SSH.COM Ltd's ssh, RhostsAuthentication works just fine! Checking the port number of ssh client you can see that OpenSSH doesn't assign

dear sir, i encountered something very odd with openssh. when i try to connect to my sshd daemon, i get repeated password errors. this happens on all connections to my server. outbound connections to other ssh sites work with no problem. the remote site can connect to itself, but not to my site. i captured the output of the sshd -d -d -d -e -D command to provide you with some trace data. i

Hi all, I just implemented (compiled from tarball) Openssh-2.3.0p1 on two different platform: an HP-UX 11.00 (the client) and a Redhat 6.2 (the server). On server (Linux RH-6.2) side the following compile options are considered: # CC="egcs" \ > ./configure \ > --prefix=/opt/openssh \ > --sysconfdir=/etc/opt/openssh \ > --with-tcp-wrappers \ > --with-ipv4-default \ >

Help! I am trying to get debug output working with sftp-server, and can''t seem to find the appropriate information to get it working. Yes, I have recompiled sftp-server to include defining DEBUG_SFTP_SERVER. I found that myself in the code before finding it in several postings as the common answer to others having this problem. In addition, I have set up the sshd_config file

I have setup an OpenSSH_3.5p1 ssh/sftp server on my SunOS 4.1.4 box. I can ssh to it just fine. The problem is SFTP from certain clients. I can SFTP to it using my OpenSSH_3.5p1 sftp client. I can SFTP to it from MacSFTP from MacSSH.org, version 1.0.5. However, I have several clients that cannot connect. I have had them try CuteFTP Pro v2, v3, WS_FTP Pro v7.62, PuTTy pSFTP.

openssh 2.5.2p2 on Solaris 8 has PAM/cron problems. If I build it with PAM then cron quits working giving "cron audit problem." errors. If I turn PAM off then cron works but I get kicked out of any session where a password is needed (i.e. no .rhosts/.shosts or not using ssh-agent) with the message "Connection closed by IP#". I get through if I have a .rhosts/.shosts or use
