similar to: Portable OpenSSH 2.5.1p1: daemontools-aware?

How about adding a --no-detach option (to be used in combination with --daemon) to rsync so it can be run under Dan Bernstein's daemontools' supervise? If there's interest I'll provide a patch. -- Jos Backus _/ _/_/_/ Santa Clara, CA _/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/

[My apologies if this question is deemed inappropriate for this list.] Using OpenSSH, is it possible for a program/script to copy files with known filenames from a remote server (running sshd), without allowing (interactive) ssh access to that server? I.e. ``ssh server ls'' or ``ssh server'' should not be possible (for security reasons), but ``scp server:file .'' should.

We have an application, running under ssh-agent, which fires off a large number of ssh processes, all of which try to talk to the agent through the UNIX domain socket under /tmp. When the agent is slow to respond and the listen queue fills up, connect()s start to fail with ECONNREFUSED, and ssh exits (agent authentication being used exclusively). To some extent this problem can be mitigated by

It appears to be possible to put comments in DSA key files, even though comments are not supported in those files: taiko:/depot/src/openssh-2.5.2p2% ./ssh-keygen -d -f mykey -C "comment" Generating public/private dsa key pair. Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): Enter same passphrase again: Your identification has been saved in mykey. Your public key has been saved in

OpenSSH still has this feature, SSH-1.2.27 no longer has it. Admittedly it can be useful sometimes, even though I'd prefer this to be done using a trivial shell wrapper, which would be the UNIX way of doing things. Not being able to call OpenSSH's ssh by another name (say ``ssh1'') can get in the way when having to maintain two versions of ssh in parallel because the ``ssh ->

Hello, I plan a migration to dovecot and have concerns about the amount of logged data. On a testsystem dovecot produced 1TB syslog per day with a comparable amount of pop3 sessions. The current server log to STDOUT which is connected to multilog (circular buffer, http://cr.yp.to/daemontools/multilog.html) That way I can have a look at the last activities to any time. I like to have that in

I wrote a patch to make the number of times and and the delay between retries that ssh attempts to talk to ssh-agent configurable. This patch is indispensible when running multiple ssh sessions in parallel from a script (e.g. to run commands on a large number of hosts); without the patch, many ssh sessions simply fail because they cannot contact the agent, rendering the mechanism unusable. If

Here's a list of cosmetic changes I'd be willing to make to the code in order to make it more consistent, which stylisticly it currently is not. - separate function definitions by 2 newlines - put spaces after commas in arg lists - put spaces around assignments - remove trailing spaces - change space indents to tabs - fix multiline comments - remove redundant /* dw */ comments (Deborah

Just curious as to the functionality of puppet. Does Puppet ensure that a service is up and running as long as puppet is running? Ie, I want to make sure ssh is always running, if for some reason ssh get''s shut down, does puppet start it back up when it does it''s config sync run?

Hi This is what I like to be able to do. 1. Computer boot on LAN, using PXELinux. 2. If the computer is booting for the first time it sends MAC adr, RAM, size of harddrive and name of videocard to a shared folder on a computer, maybe a server, that is attached to the network. 3. If this is not the first time it scan for a new task, could be a new ghostimage or an unattended installation of a

I've put two packages for R on my home page at http://www.xs4all.nl/~jhckx/R/. The "pcnt" package is for multiway percentage tables. I've posted a first effort called "ctab" on this group and a request for enhancing "ftable" with percentages on the wishlist. The "mcl" package is for estimating multinomial logistic models using conditional logistic

Hi all, I want to start dovecot through DJBs Daemontools-supervise, is there a configuration option that lets dovecot stay in foreground? best regards, Jens

Hi, (3.0.21b, OpenBSD -current) I'm trying to get the smbd and nmbd processes to run under daemontools and to log to multilog. Using the -F -S switches should work, and is widely cited in google searches, but logging to multilog stops shortly after the daemons start. The last message that goes to multilog is standard input is not a socket, assuming -D and from then on logging goes to the

Dear list, I want to run a statistical program (using its .exe file) from R by writing a script. I know there are some packages that call WinBUGS, Mplus etc. form R. I just want to call the .exe extension of this program and run several times writing a code in R. Thus, I want to have the output inside R. I just don't know where to start. Does anyone have any idea about that? Is there a

I was looking for suggestions on how I could get rsyncd to send its log information to multilog, and I came across this post: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=rsync&m=105034709927741&w=2 Is there any initiative to integrate this or something like it into the rsync base? It would be a really useful feature for people who run rsync under process supervision. Toby

This patch is against 3.0.2p1. It produces output like the first line in the example below for both v1 and v2 logins. Logging is turned on by sticking ``LogFingerprint yes'' in sshd_conf.

Currently the --write-batch option in addition to creating the batch files also syncs the target tree. I'm not sure whether this is always desired. So far the only way I have been able to come up with to prevent the target tree from being populated is the patch below; however, the top-level target directory is still created, so it is not complete. Does this sound like a worthwile addition to
