Hi All, While testing another patch, I found that I could not longer log in as root, even if PermitRootLogin was yes. It seems to be the following code in auth_password: $ cvs diff -r1.48 -r1.49 auth-passwd.c [snip] #ifndef HAVE_CYGWIN - if (pw->pw_uid == 0 && options.permit_root_login != PERMIT_YES) + if (pw->pw_uid == 0 && options.permit_root_login !=

Hi, as it turned out on the Cygwin mailing list, the special handling of empty password in auth-passwd.c when running under Windows NT results in problems. Cause: The authentication methode "none" calls auth_password() with an empty password. A piece of HAVE_CYGWIN code allows empty passwords even if PermitEmptyPasswords is set to "no". This in turn results in calling

Hello, I came across an interoperability problem in OpenSSH 3.0p1 and 3.0.1p1 concerning the AFS token forwarding. That means that the new versions are not able to exchange AFS tokens (and Kerberos TGTs) with older OpenSSH releases (including 2.9p2) and with the old SSH 1.2.2x. In my opinion this problem already existed in Openssh 2.9.9p1, but I have never used this version (I only looked at the

Here is a patch that does TIS auth via PAM. It's controlled by a switch in the sshd_config. You'd use it by having a PAM module that sets PAM_PROMPT_ECHO_ON. eg, you could use it with pam_skey or pam_smxs. The patch is against the 2.9.9p2 distribution. I'm not on the list, a reply if this patch is accepted would be great. (But not required, I know some folks have a distaste for

Hi all, among other things, we provide shell access to various unix based platforms for our students and university staff. Recently, there has been increasing number of root login attacks on one particular Tru64 machine running OpenSSH. The host is configured with "PermitRootLogin no" but every once in a while SIA auth with TCB enhanced security locks the root account. I suppose

I have "PermitRootLogin no" in my sshd_config, but under Tru64 and SIA, the root login attempts still get passed to the SIA system (so I get lots of warnings about failed root logins). On systems with a "max failed attempts" setting, the root account can be locked out this way. I started looking at the code, and I'm not sure I understand what I see. In auth-passwd.c,

Dear list, since the order of authentication and AFS token/KRB TGT forwarding changed (around 3.0), we have had problems with users accidentally overwriting their credentials from a "password" login with forwarded credentials. E.g. user A logs in as user B, but stays with the AFS permissions of user A. A workaround is to use "-k" on these sessions, but "it worked without

Hi All. Attached is a patch against OpenBSD, based in part on the owl-always-auth patch. The idea is that the only way out of auth_passwd for the failure case is the "return 0" at the bottom. I don't know if this is a good way to do it or not, it's presented for discussion. Also, I don't think 3.6.1p2 is quite right WRT these timing issues (eg, you get a fast failure

Hi, Just a usecase that I'm sure has been covered before but just in case its not an openssh solution would be very helpful. I was trying to install software on a server that was firewalled so no outbound http connections would work. I was also tunnelling via another server. Outbound ssh connections also were a convenient option. What would have been nice would be a remote version of

Im trying to sync 2 mailserver with dsync mirror functionality. Problem occurs when mails arrive in the same folder on both sides then dsync sometimes runs into problems and duplicates that entrys on both side(2mails then with same content). After running again the same happens again(now 4 mails with same content on every side). And then duplicates this mails on both sides on every run :(

Hello, We'd like to allow passwords only from the local network, and allow public key auth from on-campus or off-campus. The server runs SuSE Linux, and we might do the same on RHEL/CentOS & Mac OS X if we can get it to work. Unfortunately, Match allows PasswordAuthentication but not ChallengeResponseAuthentication. Is there any reason ChallengeResponseAuthentication cannot be

Hi ! Here's a patch to add remote port forwarding support (protocol 2) for openssh. I have tried to test that it works like it should but a more thorough testing is needed. This patch adds both client/server support. The patch should be applied to openssh-2.1.1p4 source tree. Also included is a PortForwarding sshd_config option, new ./configure option --disable-forwarding that should make it

Hello all I've finished developing my own implementation of PAM support for OpenSSH. I've done this, because it was my master of science thesis. Everyone who is intrested in with it, can download one from: http://valdi.gt.pl/OpenSSH/ What is intresting - I've implemented RSA authentication too :-) More info in short README which can be downloaded from above page. Ah - avaible

Hello, appended is a patch that makes it possible to use PAM both for password authentication and TIS (i.e. s/key or opie or any other interactive challenge/response scheme). I have developed this starting from the patch at http://www.debian.org/Bugs/db/61/61906.html on Debian with openssh-2.1.1p4-3. After configuring ssh with --with-pam-tis, there are two PAM services, "sshd" and
