Hello all, I enabled UseLogin briefly on my homegrown Redhat Linux 6.2 system. Redhat's 'login' is in /bin/login, not /usr/bin/login. Perhaps this check should be moved to autoconf rather than #define'd. I also noticed that it creates "duplicate" 'last' entries: ---- esa pts/1 x.y.z.159 Thu Jul 20 07:56 still logged in esa pts/1

Precedence: bulk Hello all, I tested openssh-2.1.1p4 briefly on 64-bit Irix 6.5 system. I noticed that when I log on, /etc/motd is printed out twice in the row. This does not happen with SSH.COM's ssh. UseLogin is disabled. Works fine in Linux and FreeBSD. Anyone else (Irix users?) notice anything like this happening? -- Pekka Savola "Tell me of difficulties

Hi, I am using openssh 2.1.1pl4 on a Linux 2.2.16 box [RH 6.1 distribution], I was confused as to why when I telnet into that box, I get /usr/local/bin in my PATH but when I ssh into my box, /usr/local/bin is not in my PATH I modified /etc/ssh/sshd_config to have UseLogin yes and then when I try to ssh into that box, I couldn't. ssh -v showed the following debug: Requesting shell. debug:

Hello all, I wonder if this is an oversight/bug/feature, but here it goes. It seems that in OpenSSH 2.1, 'w' (or who) command may print out something like this: ---- USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT pekkas ttyp1 - 3:10am 0.00s 0.08s 0.03s w ---- 2.0beta1 was the one I used before, and that printed FROM field properly.

Hello all, I just noticed that AllowHosts feature of SSH Inc's sshd isn't there in OpenSSH yet. Has anyone been working on this? Am I the only one that seems to miss this feature? AllowUsers and AllowGroups is a very nice feature though :) -- Pekka Savola "Tell me of difficulties surmounted, Pekka.Savola at netcore.fi not those you stumble over and

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

Hello all, OpenSSL 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 are incompatible, causing weird errors. I'd like to get a check for this in the RPMs. However, now I want to make sure whether anyone has experienced problems with RHL 0.9.5a OpenSSL libs vs. the 0.9.5a ones provided at openbsd.org? Ie: is it enough to check like '= 0.9.5a' or do you have to check '= 0.9.5a-xyz'. -- Pekka Savola

Hello, By the 26th of May I will have been waiting for response for 17 days. I have posted this mail at 9 May 2001 20:38:58 and still this bug is not fixed and AFAIK no one have answered to this mail. I have to ask: why? ;-) ---------- My OLD message ---------- Hello, I have just discoverd that ssh -T does not work with servers which have UseLogin option enabled. This happends becouse

Hello all, I tried OpenSSH versions 2.1.1p4, 2.2.0p1 and the latest snapshot briefly on 64-bit Irix 6.5.7f an 6.5.9m. Both times, no matter what I do, I'll get 'PRNG initialization failed -- exiting'. This happens with ssh-keygen (the keys aren't even generated yet, ssh binary etc.) It's clear that Irix etc. don't have a proper entropy pool like *BSD and Linux do, but

Hello all, Using 20000930 snapshot on Irix 6.5.9m. SFTP connections with SSH 2.3.0 (Windows) die right out. Similar configuration and the same version works fine in Red Hat Linux 6.2. This is probably related to 'sftp' thread 7-10 days ago. The error messages captured in debug mode: --- debug1: server_input_channel_open: ctype session rchan 1 win 100000 max 8192 debug1: open session

Hello all, I just found a bug a nice bug that can be turned into a real feature on systems (usually Linux) that are built with --with-ipv4-default. If you enable IPv6 in kernel, and enable both listenaddress 0.0.0.0 and ::, sshd will error out 'address family not supported'. However, you can work around this error by starting sshd with 'sshd -4 -6'. As far as man page is

Hi, When I tested the latest snapshot on FreeBSD 4.2, I noticed some implicit declaration warnings I didn't recall seeing on Linux. I think this is caused by the fact that if autoconf does detect the presence of some BSD capability, necessary header files and declarations may not be included (as these are assumed to be the same ~everywhere, and already included). If such capability is

Hello all, sshd configuration file options change from one release to another. If you forget updating sshd_config, sshd will not start. This is especially painful for update scripts etc. where you can't do e.g. 'sshd -p 2022' to see if it's okay. May I suggest some option, e.g. sshd -t, which would test config files and other obvious issues and return an errorcode if something

Hi, I'd like to bring this up again as there has been discussion about 2.4.0 patches. Getting something this big in would probably delay the release too much, but something similar should be considered for 2.5 then. A lot of people would like some control over port forwarding. Florian Weimer's patches (http://cert.uni-stuttgart.de/files/openssh/) are one, rather "big"

Hello all, Very recently, djm added compability patch so that aes/rijndael encryption problems could be avoided when talking to broken server/client; and you wouldn't have to toggle off the protocols yourself. Might this be a candidate for 2.5.2p2 or the like? This would be helpful when there are a lot of broken, 2.3.0 and like, systems. -- Pekka Savola "Tell me of

Hello all, I'm using the attached patch. With it, if you add OPTIONS="-6" in /etc/sysconfig/sshd (this kind of sysconfig/<name> is a pretty normal RHL practice), then you can enable ipv4 and ipv6 on RHL without problems and without having to modify the init.d/sshd script. This or something like should IMO be added. Removing 'noreplace' from sshd_config

ChangeLog: 20010429 - (bal) Updated INSTALL.
