Hi! I am resending the following message about problems with utmp handling. * In the meantime I had some request in private mail from people asking whether I have new information. * The problem is still persistant in 2.9p2. * My own new investigations show, that the problem only appears with protocol 2, not with protocol 1, I therefore only started to note it when protocol 2 became the

Howdy, After upgrading to 2.9 (OpenSSH_2.9p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090600f) I'm unable to ssh between two systems any more (the two that I've upgraded). I've recompiled from the original source several times, each time with no errors, regenerated host keys, regenerated client keys (using rsa), etc., to no avail. Below are some relevant snippets of debugging output

Hi! I am distributing 2.5.1p1 for production use on my system by now and prepare switching to protocol 2 as default protocol. I just noted, that ssh-agent can be used for protocol 1 and 2, but the keys kept in ssh-agent are not compared against keys in .ssh. Example: I have a DSA key in id_dsa which I load into ssh-agent on login. When connecting to an account accepting the key everything is

There are a couple of issues regarding egd support in OpenSSH. 1) SIGPIPE is not ignored for the master listener daemon. I put the signal() call early on since it needs to be before get_random_bytes() is called but it could also be placed in the EGD version of get_random_bytes(). For some reason, with prngd I am getting SIGPIPE even though the prngd processes is not dying.

Hi, I'm running openssh 2.1.1p4 on Solaris 7 (sparc). Occationally, when I boot up the server, the startup script I wrote to start sshd fails to start sshd with the following error: fatal: Not enough entropy in RNG What am I doing wrong?? Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening? Is just restarting sshd a valid thing to do?? Thanks for any thoughts, David

Hi! as I just noted, after scp the connection does not shut down properly. When I do a "scp file targethost:path", on targethost a "sshd" process is left running. I do use --with-default-path="/usr/local/openssh/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin" to assure, that the corrensponding openssh-scp is used. It also seems, that normal sessions are not always closed properly.

Hello, I'm unsure what kind of problem this is, but If I use eval $(ssh-agent) ssh-add scp ... (several times) ssh-add -D exit There are many ssh processes around in the system: UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME COMMAND root 4266 1 0 11:33:56 pts/0 0:00 /usr/local/bin/ssh -x -oFallBack ToRsh no -oFallBackToRsh no root 1876 9788 0 11:11:26 ? 0:01

Hi! I have experimented a bit with the latest OpenSSH from the CVS archive. I could realize some connections succesfully, but I experienced performance problem during the connection phase. It seems, that the client needs quite some computer time just after debug: Got SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_GROUP. By inserting test-printouts, I verifyed that the dh_gen_key(dh); call seems to take that long. On a HP

Hi! I have just made the 0.9.0 release of PRNGD available. PRNGD is the Pseudo Random Number Generator Daemon. It has an EGD compatible interface and is designed to provide entropy on systems not having /dev/*random devices. Software supporting EGD style entropy requests are openssh, Apache/mod_ssl, Postfix/TLS... Automatic querying of EGD sockets at fixed locations has been introduced in the

Hello, it's me again ! I tried to compile / install OpenSSH on our Reliant UNIX system, OS version 5.45 (and 5.44). The following problems did appear: 1. OpenSSL-0.9.5a will not compile out of the box. The problem on RU 5.45 is, that the compiler does support "long long" but NOT "unsigned long long". The latter just provokes the error message "superfluous

Hi! The handling of the "status" information in bsd-waitpid.c and bsd-nextstep.c seems to be bit odd. Patch attached.

Hi, I just tried building of OpenSSH-2.1.0 on HP-UX 10.20 and found the following items: - The configure command I used at the beginning: CC=cc CFLAGS="-Ae +O2 +DAportable" CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/s sl/include -I/usr/include/X11R6" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/ssl/lib -L/usr/lib/X11R6" ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/openssh

Hello, over the last few days I've been attempting to compile openssh-3.4p1 on a HP j5000 (hpux 10.20) but have run into some problems. I had found the paper from Kevin Steves and have been following his suggested steps. Perl, zlib, prngd, tcp_wrappers and openssl all compiled more or less as he described. The configure script runs without protest but make gets hung up in

Hello, >From the response to my original post regarding openssh, obviously the only way to resolve the problem of getting openssh to work properly under Solaris 8 with openssl 0.9.6b was to compile with debugging an analyze to core file. Let me state that I am not a developer, but maybe the following will help. I have compiled both openssh2.96p2 and openssl 0.9.6b with debugging using the Sun

Hi! I have problems with connections being left open with both 2.2.0p1 and the latest snapshot when using agent-forwarding. (I didn't use this with older versions, so I don't know whether this problem is older.) Scenario: I have a secret key that I run with ssh-agent on host "host-A". I then connect to "host-B" using 'slogin -A host-B'. When executing a

If we can get people to test their platforms against the last snapshot/cvs tree I'd be greatful. (http://www.openssh.com/portable.html) I know NeXT platform has problems. I'm going to spend tonight looking at it. Also, take a moment to see what manpage type ./configure decided for your system and if it's 'cat' please let us know. Thanks. - Ben

Hi, when running OpenSSH with EGD as entropy source, the sshd server connects to the EGD socket and leaves it open to re-seed on the fly. Unfortunately the connection is not checked when re-seeding, so that a failure or restart of EGD will lead to a "fatal()" abort of the sshd server process. Since a dying server process can not be accepted, I would recommend to not have sshd call it

Hi all, I'm not on the list but I thought it might interest some of you to know that openssh 2.2.0p1 compiles quite well under sco5. Although not right out of the box. I'm not using gcc on those platforms, so I had to change the call to gettimeofday() because the sco cc want only one of the two arguments (SCO doesn't care with timezone). So I had to modify those files to get it work:

The mailing list is now open to outside posters again. We haven't been spammed in the last month or so since the list was closed. If anyone can suggest a way to use the MAPS RBL with Postfix and Majordomo (without turning it on the whole server), it would be much appreciated. -d -- | "Bombay is 250ms from New York in the new world order" - Alan Cox | Damien Miller -
