similar to: hostinstall target?

Heya, I have compiled and installed OpenSSH on a Solaris/Sparc machine and whenever I try to start any of the ssh programs I get "fatal: PRNG initialisation failed -- exiting" Now, I have looked through the mailing lists and have seen some mention that this indicates it can't open the ssh_prng_cmds file, which entropy.c also seems to indicate the problem is. However, this snippet

Has anyone had any experience with any of the BSafe toolkits that are available and contain support for the RSA public key algorithms? I would like to use one of RSA's toolkits in a port of a Windows OpenSSH client that I am working on, in order to avoid any licensing issues from RSA. Can anyone recommend a good toolkit? I understand that there a number of them, such as BSafe SSL-C, SLPlus,

Nico-- SSH is trying to "get entropy" by taking the (somewhat-deterministic) output of a bunch of system commands, on those OSs that don't provide a /dev/random or its equivalent. The commands that it uses are in /etc/ssh_prng_cmds or its equivalent on your system; just comment out any of the lines (and stop/restart SSHd) in order to change which system commands are used as inputs

I have a couple of questions regarding openssh.spec and the rpm that gets generated from it. I am using 2.3.0p1 1. Why is openssl a prereq? openssh statically links to openssl during build by default (rightfully so, you don't want your security library a shared object if possible) 2. I don't understand the following line in the spec file during the install step (it makes it not build for

Folks: Thanks to all who helped me get ssh up and running on my development box. Now I want to make a distribution package to take and install on the rest of my network. I am not sure what to transfer from box to box and what to run to get started. I did the install on the dev box and all tested fine. Is there a "standard distribution" list of only files required for running ssh on

Hello, Looking at: http://www.openssh.com/features.html Under 'Free Licensing' section: "any licensed or patented components are chosen from external libraries (e.g. OpenSSL)" Can someone please enlighten me which components specifically have patent/ licensing restrictions from openSSL that are being used by openSSH ? Are any of these restricted by US export laws ? Thank

hi, i am told that ssh-keygen gets bus errors on solaris 2.6? has anyone heard about this before? thanks -markus

I don't already figure out what is the real impact of this but I think there is a typo in function sigchld_handler() in serverloop.c (l 75). It is written if (WIFEXITED(child_wait_status) || WIFSIGNALED(child_wait_status)) child_terminated = 1; child_has_selected = 0; But I think one actually means: if (WIFEXITED(child_wait_status) || WIFSIGNALED(child_wait_status)) {

Hi! I had some fight with ssh-add this morning that I have now tracked down to a change recently made. I run "ssh-add < /dev/null" to launch (x11-)ssh-askpass from the CDE startup. Unfortunately, no keys are added to ssh-agent! Reason: Between 2.2.0p1 (ssh-add.c 1.20) and now (ssh-add 1.22) the input reading from ssh-askpass was changed from read() to atomicio(). 91c120 <

The manual page for ssh-keygen hides option "-d" almost: It's not listed in the usual way: The options are as follows: -b bits Specifies the number of bits in the key to create. Minimum is 512 bits. Generally 1024 bits is considered sufficient, and key sizes above that no longer improve security but make things slow-

I'd like to report a problem I found with the OpenSSH client talking to the SSH 2.3.0 server. client: i686-pc-linux (Debian 2.2, kernel 2.2.18pre19, glibc-2.1.3), SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_2.3.0p1 (built by me from source, but the same problem occurs with ssh_2.2.0p1-1.1 as shipped with Debian 2.2). server: sparc-sun-solaris2.7, SSH-2.0-2.3.0 SSH Secure Shell (non-commercial) Problem: some time

where is --with-default-path= documented? in the INSTALL? in the FAQ? it should be probably a FAQ. perhaps configure should print a warning/notice if scp is installed in a non-standard path? -m -------------- next part -------------- An embedded message was scrubbed...

COPYING.Ylonen contains: [ GMP is now external. No more GNU licence. ] I don't see how GMP is linked in at all. rms asked me to look into this, because this might constitute a license conflict. Thanks for your help! -- No matter how big the bell, if you only tap it, it can give out only a faint sound. We must understand thoroughly that the weakness of the blow, not a fault of the bell

Could someone add this autogen.sh script to the toplevel of openssh_cvs? Many projects include an autogen.sh script so that folks need not remember what auto commands need to get run and in what order. % cat autogen.sh #!/bin/sh # Run this program (./autogen.sh) after changing any of # the files that are used to automatically generate # other files. #aclocal autoheader autoconf #automake

Dear all, is it possible to specify the default paths in the appropriate configuration of the Daemon ? If not, wouldn't it make sense to include that feature as the configuration files get parsed anyway ? What do you mean ?

Hi, I just ltraced ssh to see why it prints the lastlog twice instead of one time. I think the bug seems to be in the parsing of the lastlog-entry and I especially think that the function lastlog_populate_entry is the buggy one, but I'm not sure, as I'm not very familar with the code. So if someone of you, would please trace this bug down and fix it, I would really appreciate that.

Hi, I try to get OpenSSH working on Compaq's Tru64 Unix (alias Digital Unix) Version 5.1. It compiles smootly with OpenSSL-0.9.6, but I observer some odd things.
