similar to: Portability hacks + alpha HPUX1020 port

Hi all, I've done a basic port of OpenSSH 1.2.1pre18 to HPUX10.20. It looks like everything's in there except utmp/wtmp/wtmpx support, which seems to be a problem in general... In particular, X11 forwarding works (Oh yes!) even though HP seem determined to break it. It's working well enough to do continuing development work on, if that tells you anything about the state of the port.

Hi, A lot of the problems with openssh portability so far appear to be with the login record functionality, i.e. lastlog support, and variations on handling utmp vs. utmpx etc. Looking at for-profit SSH 1.2.27, login.c is rather embarassing spaghetti code, so laden with '#ifdef's it's almost impossible to read. OpenSSH's code isn't anything like that, but then it doesn't

I have some troubles with subj and proper utmpx/wtmpx functionality. After successfull ssh connect to Solaris 8 box, I run #w 11:59am up 13:45, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.01, 0.02 User tty login@ idle JCPU PCPU what root console 11:43am 9 bash # Record about my pts/1 login is absent. Next command I run from Solaris 8 console

Follow-on to Charles Levert's <charles at comm.polymtl.ca> work on utmp_write_direct. Fixed: -- At logout, the utmp entry is cleared. Tested on SunOS 4.1.4. The code I added to loginrec.c is restricted to SUNOS4 pending QA testing on other platforms. This patch incorporates the work done by Charles Levert on 7/25/2000 00:43:22. (Do any of us sleep at

The problem seems to be that if you #include <utmpx.h> without suitable -DPOSIX_SOMETHING magic, you get no struct utmpx (all that stuff is wrapped w/ "#ifdef _INCLUDE_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED"). I'm not sure how you all are handling such portability issues. Thx, Will ================== I configured with # ./configure --prefix=/.=our-deploy/openssh-1.2.2 --without-shadow

If you were to search for 'wtmp' in the 1997 archives (via the Samba web pages), you would find one interesting

I cannot make openssh on Solaris. The 'make' fails on the first file. Here are the commands and the output. Essentially, I pre-built EGD, SSL, and ran: configure make make errors are listed at the bottom. Can anyone help me get this compiled on Solaris7?

Hi, Solaris (tested with 2.6) needs a username in the logout record in the wtmpx file. Currently openssh (version 2.3.0p1) leaves the username (utmpx.ut_user) empty in logout records, which leads to conflicting results from the last command. Example: # last -5 siegert siegert pts/186 stikine.ucs.sfu. Mon Jan 15 14:26 still logged in siegert pts/105 stikine.ucs.sfu. Mon Jan 15

Hmph. I wish I had checked the list before I wasted a half-day on this. Yes, the problem exists under AIX (mine's 4.3.1). Here's the patch I came up with, which may be a little more straightforward than the original. I confirmed that it works under Solaris 2.[67] too. Don't forget to run autoconf. --- bsd-login.c.orig Sat Dec 25 18:21:48 1999 +++ bsd-login.c Thu Apr 20 18:26:41

Hello When I was using OpenSSH-2.9p2 in Solaris 8 sparcv9 (64bit) environment, I found some trouble that wtmpx has broken. The size of utmpx structure object becomes larger than 32 bit environment in sparcv9 environment.Therefore, instead of using utmpx structure object, using futmpx structure object is better. In sparcv9 environment, futmpx structure object is used instead of utmpx structure

This is just portable todo list. From the sounds of it Markus has his own to do list. But can everyone review and let me know if there is anything missing from this list. (Note.. I'm not looking for 'SSH should support XYZ feature.' unless it's directly related to portability.) Or if there is anything on this list that has been completed. (Namely Tru64 SIA support?) Thanks.

sessreg is used by display managers such as xdm and gdm to record X sessions in utmp, wtmp, and lastlog files. This release attempts to clean up some inconsistencies around the handling of the various files. Long long ago, Unix systems had a utmp file to record who was currently logged in, and a wtmp file to record login history. Long ago, extended versions of the files & APIs for them were

Using the latest cvs sources, the compilation of ssh.c fails. The 'struct rlimit rlim;' line is being expanded by cpp into 'struct rlimit64 rlim;' and there is no struct rlimit64 defined. In order to get the struct rlimit64 to be included when the #include <sys/resource.h> is used, it appears to need the _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE symbol defined OR it needs the '#if

I am using the "UseLogin yes" configuration parameter to call the /usr/bin/login program on SGI Irix, (we are using Irix version 6.5.13). I do this because the SGI login program is AFS awhere and checks out a token for you and I do not want to compile the Kerberos version of sshd, (it is to messy for me to support). Everything seems to work fine accept the wtmp(x) and utmp(x) files do

I'm using openssh 2.5.2p2 on Solaris-x86 2.6. I ran into a couple problems when I set UseLogin to "yes": The big one seems to have been reported before: login refuses to run without a utmpx entry. This problem appears to have been caused by the changes in revision 1.24 of session.c. Before this revision, the record_login() function was always called, no matter how UseLogin was

Hello OpenSSH hackers, The last couple of weeks I've been figuring out how hard it is to replace FreeBSD's <utmp.h> with <utmpx.h>. I don't think utmpx is perfect, but at least it's better than what we have now and at least it has gone through some form of standardisation. I noticed POSIX says the following [1]: | The <utmpx.h> header shall define the utmpx

Starting with 11.23 HP is using utmps as if we didn't already have enough (utmp, wtmp, utmpx, wtmpx,... did I miss any??) . Anyway, I added support for it in (before this patch no logins from ssh were showing up on my 11.23 and 11.31 systems). http://homepage.mac.com/gagnocg/downloads/hpux-cvs.diff
