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

this (uncomplete) patch makes various features compile time options and saves up to 24K in the resulting ssh/sshd binaries. i don't know whether this should be added to the CVS since it makes the code less readable. perhaps WITH_COMPRESSION should be added, since it removes the dependency on libz -m Index: Makefile.inc =================================================================== RCS

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

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

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.

On 2.3.0p1, we have been experiencing the SSH2 stdout truncation problem that was reported by a few users. I built the 20010115 snapshot. It seems to correct the problem but before I was able to test it, I had to change sigchld_handler2 so it would not reset the signal handler before waitpid is called. On Irix, it seems a SIGCHLD is delivered for ever... I haven't tried the last snapshots so

Hi Damien, I have a problem getting openssh-2.9p2 properly configured.

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, 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

i haven't heard of problems with configure/lastlog on 10.20. i'll copy the development list as there are folks there who use 10.20.

Hi! when using agent forwarding, the connection hangs on exit, if the agent has been accessed. Symptoms: - On the client side, when the agent is accessed, the following output is being logged: debug1: channel 1: new [authentication agent connection] debug1: confirm auth-agent at openssh.com debug1: channel 1: rcvd eof debug1: channel 1: output open -> drain debug1: channel 1: obuf empty

Hi, I use openssh-2.9p2 on an i386 LynxOS system. Since LynxOS does not have support for /dev/[u]random, I installed openssh with prngd support. It so happened by accident on installation that prngd.conf got truncated to zero size. With prngd running as such, ssh-keygen just hangs. I notice similar case with sshd, ssh, ... as all these depend on prngd for random number. SMMEstack# /usr/sbin/sshd

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

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 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

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

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