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

I'd like to see a feature of the commercial ssh in openssh: AllowHosts xxx.yyy.xxx.yyy *.domain.net DenyHosts xxx.yyy.xxx.* name.domain.net This allows or denies connects from certain machines (including wildcard matching). Is there any chance for this feature to be included? No, we don't want to use tcp-wrapper for this. Bye.

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, 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, 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 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, Is it intentional that after three unsuccessful logins, the login prompt changes as kbd-interactive mode is enabled and you receive non-default message of failed authentication: pekkas: /home/pekkas$ ssh localhost pekkas at localhost's password: Permission denied, please try again. pekkas at localhost's password: Permission denied, please try again. pekkas at localhost's

Hi, Related to: http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/usr.bin/ssh/ssh.c.diff?r1=1.100&r2=1.101 It'd appear that logging in readconf.c: --- debug("Applying options for %.100s", arg); debug("Reading configuration data %.200s", filename); --- Goes to /dev/null. This is caused by the fact, that in ssh.c there is: --- /* * Initialize

Hello all, It seems that openssh-2.0beta's ssh doesn't parse /etc/ssh/ssh_config (or equivalent) properly. If I add e.g. 'Protocol 2,1' there, ssh will just complain '/etc/ssh/ssh_config line 30: garbage at end of line.'. I've tried changing the line, etc. but the error remains. True enough, README.openssh2 only mentions ~/.ssh/config, but IMO this must have been an

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

Hello all, A few days ago I noticed that the following seems to happen when upgradign OpenSSH on Linux-based (/etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd) based systems: - sshd is restarted with 'sshd restart'; however sshd serving in port 22 is not replaced. - you have to kill the old one (netstat -ltp | grep :ssh ; kill ...) first, then restart sshd. - This might happen only when performing the upgrade

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, Is it just me or is 'scp user at host1 user at host2' broken (if the server asks you for the password)? 1) [password required] >From OpenSSH 2.5.1p1 -> OpenSSH 2.5.1p1 -> OpenSSH 2.3.0, I get like: > scp pekkas at xxx:~/*.patch psavola at yyy:~/temp/ psavola at xxx's password: You have no controlling tty.

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.

Hello all, There are two issues in OpenSSH RPM Red Hat spec file (against 2.2.0p1): 1. /etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd uses 'success' and 'failure'. These don't work in Red Hat 5.2; else the spec file is fine. Initscripts requirement (for the one in RH60) added. 2. If you're upgrading over SSH ltd's ssh-server, the server will be stopped and sshd removed from chkconfig

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

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.
