Hi ! Is anyone working on getting -R (remote port forwarding) working with protocol 2 ?

Hi, I'm sorry if this has already come up on the list, I did a quick search of the archive and didn't notice it. I noticed IMHO strange behavior in read_passphrase: If readpassphrase returns NULL and sets errno to ENOTTY, then read_passphrase returns an empty passphrase to the caller instead of error, now what happens with password authentication is that if readpassphrase fails every

Hi all, I'm using openssh-2.9p2 on Solaris 2.8. I can get remote port forwarding to work using the -R flag, but only with ssh protocol 1 not ssh protocol 2. I've read that remote forwarding protocol 2 was not supported in earlier versions of openssh, but I'm wondering if this is still the case. Jarno Huuskonen [Jarno.Huuskonen at uku.fi], posted a patch in 2000 to add support for

Hi, Has anybody produced diffs for openssh-2.3.0p1 for the rsa keyexchange problem that Core-SDI described ?

Hi ! While browsing Linux manpages (man 3 syslog) I noticed that the manual says that the LOG_AUTH facility is deprecated use LOG_AUTHPRIV instead. Is there a good reason why OpenSSH doesn't have an option to use LOG_AUTHPRIV facility ? (Looks like that tcpd/telnet etc. use the AUTHPRIV facility (in RH6.2)). Shouldn't be too hard to add the AUTH_PRIV facility ? Cheers, -Jarno --

I'm having trouble with users transferring files to a solaris box running ossh v2.3.1p1 via sftp using ssh.com's windows client. The sftp client appears not to respect the users umask, creating files with either mode 666 or 600. We're using version 2.4.0 of the windows client. Any ideas? thanks, -Brett ----------------- Brett Longworth Systems Manager Department of Biology

I noticed a bit of odd behavior with openssh + pam_linux a while back. I do not know if anyone else has seen this since there are a few hoops that have to be jumped through. Background: RedHat 6.2 (heavily customized) running on intel box. Running pam-0.72-20.6.x + Openssh-2.9.9p2-1 (both redhat) Problem: Set a user account to expire as of yesterday (via shadow entry) Set the users account

Hi guys, and here's a security related bug report. I think it's has been fixed in the 2.2.x-release of openssh, but I'm not sure. I tried to reproduce the problem with my 2.2.0p1 and could find any difference in the behaviour of ssh depending on wether PermitRootLogin was set to no. Could someone please confirm that this problem is not existing anymore? > When PermitRootLogin is

Hi. OpenSSH 2.3.0p1 exhibits the following behavior on Linux 2.2.5. I believe this is a bug. Can anyone else replicate this? On any given SSH machine (let's call it 'test'), start ssh like this: ./ssh -L2526:mail.blah.com:25 -f mail.blah.com sleep 1000 (where mail.blah.com is some machine running sendmail, you have a login account, etc.) In a just world (and this works with

Hi ! Here's a patch to add remote port forwarding support (protocol 2) for openssh. I have tried to test that it works like it should but a more thorough testing is needed. This patch adds both client/server support. The patch should be applied to openssh-2.1.1p4 source tree. Also included is a PortForwarding sshd_config option, new ./configure option --disable-forwarding that should make it

Hello, Questions, observations, and curiosities. Maybe this is something stupid or maybe I'm doing something wrong... But... In light of the Kurt Seifried paper on SSH and SSL, I was looking for the finger prints on my various servers and known hosts files to have a little crib sheet and maybe plug the list into a database on my palm pilot. I found that ssh-keygen lists out the

Hi ! I think that the configure option --with-ipaddr-display doesn't set the IPADDR_IN_DISPLAY define in config.h Here's a small patch to configure.in that should enable the feature (after running autoconf again). -Jarno --- openssh-2.1.1p4-orig/configure.in Sat Jul 15 07:59:14 2000 +++ openssh-2.1.1p4/configure.in Mon Aug 7 08:18:15 2000 @@ -1026,7 +1026,7 @@

Hi, Openssh sshd opens the socket that forwards users requested port forwards as root, so the connection seems to come from root. Is it enough to open the socket as normal user so the connection would appear to come from that user ? (On Linux this seems to work, but what about other OS's ?) I tested this briefly by wrapping the channel_connect_to(target,target_port); (in

Hi, I noticed that Markus has fixed the temporary file cleanup problems in OpenSSH cvs. What files need patching for this ? I only noticed changes in: session.c, channels.h and channels.c. -Jarno -- Jarno Huuskonen <Jarno.Huuskonen at uku.fi>

Hi, I'm doing some quick tests with nsd-4.0.0b5 and (rc2). And found something strange when changing (nsd-control reconfig) one zone from: zone: name: 10.in-addr.arpa zonefile: /zones/empty.zone to zone: name: 10.in-addr.arpa request-xfr: 192.168.122.12 NOKEY allow-notify: 192.168.122.12 NOKEY zonefile: /zones/slave/10.rev and doing nsd-control reconfig.

Here is my third attempt at the idletimeout patch. I tried to address the points which Marcus Friedl brought up. It is actually bigger than the previous patches, but not as intrusive. It is big because it moves some stuff from serverloop.c to packet.c. - I moved all the logic to packet.c. This means that I also had to move the actual select() call, which used to be in serverloop.c to packet.c.

I have a file server running with Samba over Debian Sarge 3.1 R1. This File server store MDB and XLS files. Could anybody give me an optimal setup for my samba server (smb.conf).

Hello, I have Samba 3.014a-Debian in a server Debian 3.1 Release 1 Sarge. The performance is pretty poor. My LAN is running at 100mbits/sec. So even at 4 feet from the server I'm getting slow responses on my windoze 2000 pro computer from samba. It takes an eternity to copy files from one place to the other. Also, I have several error messages and files corruption. Could anybody tell me
