similar to: login code in a separate library?

Hi, I've just put a new version of liblogin[1] on my website. This version is fully tested on Linux RH6, OpenBSD, HPUX10.20 and Solaris 2.6. It may well work on other systems now, as it supports login(), [uw]tmp, [uw]tmpx, and lastlog (filemode only.) If you're feeling adventurous, please check out the web page and try it out. By 'tested', I mean that the library is known to

Hi, I've just posted an early alpha of a new login record library 'liblogin' to my website -> http://dspace.dial.pipex.com/andre.lucas/openssh.html . It's released as a patch, and it doesn't enable itself by default. Read the instructions first! This release is missing a lot of functionality, but is tested and working on Linux (RH6.0 anyway) and OpenBSD. Why you might

FYI a new version of liblogin, 0.3alpha, is up on my website at http://dspace.dial.pipex.com/andre.lucas/liblogin.html This version fixes a few bugs and has implementations for the full API, including 'get last login time' support, even for systems without lastlog. New OpenSSH patches against 1.2.2 are also available, to enable the last login time features. Again, the function (in

HPUX doesn't seem to ship with a set of troff macros that can handle the OpenSSH manpages. Maybe other OSs have this problem? Rather than sodding about with the tmac/ directory, I think we should do one of two things: 1. Ship a set of preformatted manpages, and either auto-install them in $prefix/man/cat{1,1m} or just have instructions in INSTALL to do so 2. Recommend users install groff

In login.c, I think the #ifdef in line 67 should be an #ifndef. Otherwise, the wrong lastlog mode is selected. Oops. I also changed the char array name (for the dirmode filename) to lbuf, as buf shadows the function parameter of the same name. Patch follows.

This might have been covered before and I've missed it. If so, sorry in advance. The file sshd.pam.generic didn't work for me on Linux RH6, I guess it's a Solaris file. Instead I copied the file /etc/pam.d/rlogin to /etc/pam.d/sshd . I wonder if this isn't a good way to go about things anyway, have an install target that does just that? Perhaps the rsh file is more appropriate

It also resolves two issues which may have caused security problems - If you OS header files did not define PATH_STDPATH, then an unsafe path was used by default (it contained an implicit '.').

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 This is a patch release which contains fixes to all the problems which have been reported over the last month. Most importantly: OpenSSL-0.9.5 has exposed a bug in RSA key generation on systems which lack a /dev/random (Solaris, HPUX, SCO). On such systems this port was not properly initialising OpenSSL's entropy pool. This results in lower

Hi, Here's the 'fixprogs' perl script that got missed off the 2.1.0p1 distribution. Please put this in your openssh directory, and re-run 'make install'. it doesn't need to be made executable. For those interested, it runs through all the commands in the ssh_prng_cmds file and tests if they work (as opposed to 'configure' merely verifying that the executable

Hi guys We at ZKS were also interested in yarrow under unix. However the implementation that counterpane have on their web page doesn't correspond to the paper -- it is a pretty different design. Also the windows code is hairy in the extreme -- I decided to reimplement it from scratch from the paper, rather than try to look at that windows code too much (yeuch!). And in writing from the
