similar to: sigchld_handler2.

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

HP-UX 11 is looping on SIGCHLD/sigchld_handler2() when exiting a protocol 2 session apparently because we don't call wait before reinstalling the handler. Any thoughts on this issue or how to address it? serverloop.c from latest snapshots: void sigchld_handler2(int sig) { int save_errno = errno; debug("Received SIGCHLD."); child_terminated = 1; signal(SIGCHLD,

Yes, this is a patch against an older version of OpenSSH with other stuff anyways, BUT, it's so TRIVIAL(*), that you can see how it would apply to newer versions (which I've not tried). Here's the gist: server_loop2() has a race condition with respect to reception of SIGCHLD and checking/setting child_terminated. This patch does two things: wait_until_can_do_something() adds a 1

I recently started building a simulator using honeyd as an IP emulator and experienced an issue with hangs on exit from ssh and sftp sessions. A quick look at the OpenSSH source code revealed the following: In serverloop.c there is a signal handler defined for SIGCHLD as follows: static void sigchld_handler(int sig) { int save_errno = errno; debug("Received SIGCHLD.");

Hello, I've been trying to get openssh working at our site recently, but have been running into these problems. In using the "release" version (openssh-2.3.0p1) we kept getting these broken pipe errors: zcat: stdout: Broken pipe Damien suggested we try out the snapshot versions, so I've been trying out the daily versions since last week. With the snapshots, the pipe problem

This to announce a test release of 2.1.0p1 before making it widely available. This release includes many fixes to problems reported over the last week. In particular: - spurious error and coredumps caused by the inbuilt entropy gathering - RSAref detection - Compilation fixes for Solaris and others It also contains (completely untested) support for compiling without RSA support. This may be

Hello, In response to the timing analysis attacks presented by Dawn Song et. al. in her paper http://paris.cs.berkeley.edu/~dawnsong/ssh-timing.html we at Silicon Defense developed a patch for openssh to avoid such measures. Timing Analysis Evasion changes were developed by C. Jason Coit and Roel Jonkman of Silicon Defense. These changes cause SSH to send packets unless request not to,

hello applied the patch described below - unfortunately we still experience rare hangs of the remote sshd. not surprising as the patch only changes a few lines in server_loop() - but not in server_loop2() which i used for non-interactive sessions. process id of hanging sshd: 26110 process is sleeping forever in poll (why does server_loop2() sleep forever?): root at XXX:~# truss -fp 26110 26110:

Hello, The error message in the subject line occurs with the new 2.3.0 openssh version and appeared in the previous snapshots on our Solaris systems. As far as I remember it was reported, but have not seen any more about this. I have looked into it a little bit. First, the file session.c (line 1849 onwards): debug("session_exit_message: release channel %d", s->chanid);

We use ssh (RedHat 2.5.2p2-5) heavily in non-interactive mode, for managing servers from central controllers, and transferring applications/ data around networks. Very occasionally we've seen the situation where the ssh client and server are both stuck in select, both selecting on only the tcp socket of the connection, and with no timeout. No children of sshd remain (even as zombies), and it

Is anyone bothered by the compiler warnings that indicate that the format strings don't match the associated variables? I was, so I cast most of the objectionable args (pids, uids, gids) to "long", and added an "l" (el) to the format string. A single item was cast to an int. Here's the patch. If you haven't applied my UseLogin patch, the line numbers in

I think my first send was eaten by elm.. Yuck I hate this programm.. Anyawys, first the disclaimer: This is barely tests, I submit this to the general population, but I will not submit this for review of rest of the OpenSSH team. Mainly because it is horrible at best. dealing with alarm() in a sane way is not fun. It does not compile clean, but works. IF anyone cares to clean it up..

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 What if you have sysv signals (i.e. signal is restored when handler is called) and child process exits here? Zombie will be left, because SIGCHLD is ignored at that point. Shouldn't signal be before waitpid? Mikulas static void main_sigchld_handler(int sig) { int save_errno = errno; pid_t pid; int status; while ((pid = waitpid(-1, &status, WNOHANG))

Hi, when syncing from windows NT/cygwin to linux usimg rsync 2.5.2 I get the following error: readlink pagefile.sys: Permission denied IO error encountered - skipping file deletion pagefile.sys is however in the exclude-list, so I think rsync shouldn't care that it can't stat the file. The code fragment responsible is if (readlink_stat(fname, &st, linkbuf) != 0) {

Again, this has been lightly tested. I think there still are a few glitchs. 1. stole progressmeter() from scp.c - clean up and simplified a little to remove the 'flag' status. It now understands how to initialize itself and how to terminate itself. Along with a malloced status bar instead of the original fix width bar. 2. removed all initialization code from scp.c for progressmeter()

I have a strange problem with sshd (from openssh-2.9p2) on Solaris 7. My shell is bash. When I open an ssh session , and type a Control-C to bash's prompt, the shell hangs. (But, if I for instance run "sleep 10" (during which time the pty is in cooked mode) and press Control-C, the sleep command is interrupted quite normally, and the bash prompt returns.) Adding some debugging

Can I get people from other platforms to test the waitpid.patch to see if it solves hang-on-exit on their platform? I can confirm Solaris at this moment (but I've not done heavy testing at this moment) that is works like a charm (Solaris 7). It handles 'sleep 90&' vs 'nohup sleep 90&' correctly (killed, vs left). thanks. - Ben ---------- Forwarded message
