Hi Folks, While compiling and testing openssh-2.5.2p2 on various AIX platforms, I've found that ssh will not accept root (based on ssh key credentials) logins at all if the AIX security features have been set to disallow remote root logins. If I disable the AIX security feature (enable remote root logins), I can then do bad things like rsh, telnet, etc. into the box as root. This deviates

The patch below follows changes in AIX utmp handling made between AIX 4.3.3 and 5.1. With it, utmp entries are properly recorded again. The patch applies to OpenSSH 3.1p1, and seems to work fine. The co-worker who sent me the patch hasn't tested backwards compatibility on AIX 4.3.3 systems. Richard ------- *** openssh-2.9.9p2/auth-passwd.c.org Tue Jul 3 23:21:15 2001 ---

Has anyone else running AIX tried this patch? I'm looking for feedback if it should be applied before we release 2.9p1. - Ben ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 24 Apr 2001 17:22:02 -0800 (AKDT) From: mikem at alaska.net To: openssh-unix-dev at mindrot.org Subject: Functionality bug (possibly) in openssh on AIX 4.3 Hi Folks, While compiling and testing openssh-2.5.2p2 on

Hi All. First the questions: Is there anything objectionable in this patch? Is AUDIT_FAIL_AUTH appropriate for the "Reason" field? Now the details: attached is a patch that changes some of the #includes for AIX. It moves the AIX-specific includes to port-aix.h and adds includes that contain the prototypes for many of the authentication functions. The idea isto fix some warnings.

Hi All. I've decided to try to merge the -Portable parts of the password expiry patch (see bug #14) that do not depend on the OpenBSD change in bug #463. The attached patch is the first step in this process. It removes the AIX-specific "char *aixloginmsg" and replaces it with a platform-neutral "Buffer loginmsg". I think this is worth having in -Portable even if it

Hi All. With one eye on the do_pam_chauthtok() stuff I've merged contributions by Pablo Sor and Mark Pitt into a patch against -current. I'm interested in testers and suggestions for improvements. The patch extends the loginrestrictions test to include expired accounts (but unlike Mark's patch, doesn't log accounts with expired passwords unless they're locked) and adds

Here are some patches to re-enable support for AIX's authenticate routines. With them, ssh will honor locked & unlocked accounts, record successful and unsuccessful logins, and deny accounts that are prohibited to log in via the network. Tested with AIX 4.3. It also includes a fix for handling SIGCHLD that may be needed for other platforms (HP-UX 10.20, for example). If I get the time

Hi, I have made a patch for AIX to report the number of days till a password expire and to prompt for a new one. This patch was made for openssh-SNAP-20010904.tar.gz (2.9p2) of the CVS repository. If you have any suggestion or question to submit, please cc to me, I'm not in the list. Bye -- Pablo Sor Departamento de Seguridad Informatica - AFIP psor at afip.gov.ar, psor at ccc.uba.ar

We have come across a problem with OpenSSH 2.3.0p1 (and still in 2.5.1p1) which affect authentication on an AIX 4.3 system. The code in auth-passwd.c at line 168 reads: #ifdef WITH_AIXAUTHENTICATE return (authenticate(pw->pw_name,password,&reenter,&authmsg) == 0); #endif however, the AIX manual page for "authenticate" states: "The authenticate subroutine maintains

Hi, I noticed that the AIX specific loginsuccess call uses char *aixloginmsg to retrieve login information. Later this message is printed in session.c (around line 753). Loginsuccess mallocs space for this message and according to the aix docs it's the responsibility of the calling program to free this message. I didn't notice any code in openssh that would free the aixloginmsg. Can

Somewhere between 2.9p1 and 2.9.9p2 there was a change to auth2.c that removed the userauth_reply() function. There were a few lines of code in that function, #ifdef'd with WITH_AIXAUTHENTICATE, that handled the AIX method of lastlog type stuff (specifically, a loginsuccess() call). There is a similar call in auth1.c, down in do_authentication(), which is still there in 2.9.9p2. So with

I have a few patches for AIX. The patchfile is attached below. The patch has been tested on AIX4.2 and AIX4.3. The patch is on openssh-1.2.1pre25, with openssl-0.94, using RSAref. 1) authenticate support - this function allows the system to determine authentification. Whatever the system allows for login, authenticate will too. It doesn't matter whether it is AFS, DFS, SecureID, local.

This is an attempt to simplify the AIX expiry-via-passwd stuff and make it more generic. (There's actually a net reduction in #ifdefs). Patch against CVS: 1) configure finds passwd. 2) sshd uses passwd during session if required. 3) sshd uses passwd for PAM change if privsep disabled. 4) sshd uses Buffers for expire and post-login messages (no longer AIX specific). 5) password_change_required

Under AIX there are three security settings: expires = a fixed date at which an account is no longer valid maxage= weeks before a password expires maxexpires=max weeks during which a password can be changed by a user after expiration AFTER WHICH ACCESS IS NOT ALLOWED Beauty of maxage with expires is, that no manual intervention is required to block inactive users. With maxage=5 and expires=1 an

Hello, I'm getting compile errors on AIX 5.1, not defining WITH_AIXAUTHENTICATE in config.h seems to solve the problem. I have configured with --syscondir=/etc/ssh and --with-ssl-dir=/usr/local/ssl and I am using gcc 2.95.3 The error messages is included below.

Hi All. Attached is a patch introduces password expiry handling for AIX (other platforms to follow). It is more or less the same as the previous patch but has been updated to reflect recent changes to auth-passwd.c I'm wondering if the AIX parts of auth.c should be moved to port-aix.c and if the generic password change functions (currently at the end of auth-passwd.c) belong in a separate

The new login code works fine with AIX 4.3. Two nits, though. If --disable-lastlog is defined, the code still tries to slog through wtmp to determine the last login time. Is this a bug or a feature? If a feature, change the DISABLE_LASTLOG test below to WITH_AIXAUTHENTICATE. Also, a small typo in configure.in, plus an AIX tweak. --- configure.in.orig Thu Jun 8 21:58:35 2000 +++ configure.in Mon

Hi, I just got a comment from one of my IBM support engineeres that there is a problem with auth-passwd.c only calling authenticate() once. He claims it should potentially be called several times, in case several authetication methods are defined in /etc/security/user. F.ex.: SYSTEM = "NIS and DCE" Suggested (untested) patch should look like: ----------------- cut
