Hello all, I just noticed that if I enable UseLogin, IP address will be shown in 'w' when logging on. If UseLogin is disabled, the hostname will be used. I tested this on 2.1.1p2 and p4, on home-grown Redhat Linux 6.2. Anyone else notice this? Is this an issue with OpenSSH or login? -- Pekka Savola "Tell me of difficulties surmounted, Pekka.Savola at

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

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

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. Now,

Hello all, If you try to make a TCP connection to a host, and the host is down, timeouts can be as long as an hour. This is not specific to ssh, or OS. Is this a scenario worth working around, e.g. with a timer when connecting or the like? -- Pekka Savola "Tell me of difficulties surmounted, Netcore Oy not those you stumble over and fall" Systems.

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

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, 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.

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.
