similar to: Scads of defunct processes ins AIX 4.3.3

Hi, If anyone has managed to get sshd to run as a subsystem in the System Resource Controller under AIX 4.3.3 (a la mkssys), then please let me know how you did it... I can mkssys and startsrc it, but it dies immediately, leaving a child sshd running with another PID than startsrc reported, and lssrc reports sshd inoperative. Is sshd a process that should stay in foreground, not forking? Or does

All: I am running on an AIX 5.3 platform and I am looking to see if anybody has a script similar to this (see below) that will work under AIX. My goal is, on boot up I want to have samba started automatically. Can somebody let me what I have to do (on AIX) for this to happen. #!/bin/sh # # /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb - starts and stops SMB services. # # The following

I'm new to using openSSH on AIX and want to know how others are launching and maintaing sshd. I see where sshd has a -i option for use with inetd, but I am thinking about adding the AIX SRC APIs so that I can use the commands: lssrc, startsrc and stopsrc to maintain the daemon. -- Denise M.

Hi , I had downloaded the OpenSSH AIX binary packages from http://www.zip.com.au/~dtucker/openssh/ . It is working fine usually, but when i reboot the server it doesnt start the sshd daemon automatically. I see there is a line added in /etc/rc.tcpip server to start the sshd on restart while intallation of the package. But it is throwing the following error in error log while the server is

Because of user access growth, the number of processes associated with IMAP has increased and I thought to change some of the configured parms. dovecot -n yields: # 1.1.14: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf # OS: AIX 1 005A928C4C00 listen: *:143 ssl_listen: *:993 disable_plaintext_auth: no verbose_ssl: yes login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login

We are heading into a lock here. So we need to get people to test their respective platforms if they wish them to be supported out of the tar file. So if you have any patches you need to ensure your platform works speak up. We are looking at a lock on the 17th. I believe I have an AIX/Cray patch and a Tru64 patch sitting in my mailbox that I'll be looking at soon and more than likely

OK, not exactly a samba issue but maybe the Ubuntu maintainer reads this list and can provide some input. Problem: Ubuntu doesn't daemonize smbd. System: Ubuntu Lucid where a recent update moved many startup scripts into the "upstart" system. Now smbd is started and runs as "smbd -F". If I edit the upstart script (/etc/init/smbd.conf) so that it runs as "smbd

My purpose to have a samba server is to share files across UNIX and NT servers. I want to be able to mount NT directories/files over to UNIX system and vice versa. I have RS/6000 machine running AIX 4.2 (will be upgraded to 4.3 soon) After trying a few times, i have finally installed samba in AIX machine. I have installed an older version 2.0.0 as only this version support AIX 4.2 (if i am wrong,

Folks, On AIX 4.3.3-08ML with the IBM C Compiler, and ssh configured to use the prngd-socket "/dev/egd-pool", the make bombs out at: /usr/bin/cc -g -I. -I. -I/usr/local/include -DSSHDIR=\"/usr/local/etc\" -D_PATH_SSH_PROGRAM=\"/usr/local/bin/ssh\" -D_PATH_SSH_ASKPASS_DEFAULT=\"/usr/local/libexec/ssh-askpass\"

I've added System Resource Controller Support with Socket Communications to Openssh. We are using this code since 2.9.9p2 on AIX 4.2 and 4.3 without problems. I've also tested the patched OpenSSH 3.1p1 on AIX 5.1. It's mainly based on examples from the IBM Redbook "Writing Reliable AIX Daemons". The SRC request handler supports START, STOP, REFRESH and STATUS requests

Hi I've finished and tested a patch to add src routines to openssh (based on the Redbook "Writing Reliable AIX Daemons") Since a few days I have the O.K. to post it on the list, but I still want to splitt my patch file into logical parts (SRC/Logging/Datatype fixes) Frank Datum: 06.09.2001 19:04 An: Denise Genty <genty at austin.ibm.com> Kopie:

Folks, I've been tasked to find a solution that will create file-transfer-only accounts that are jailed or chrooted to a specific directory. (Not an uncommon task, I think.) Using the OpenSSH server and the OpenSSH scp client program, I can achieve the goal of having a file transfer only account jailed to a specified directory, by using the "scpjail" script (attached) as a

Can we do this? Or should we drop the whole char *tty; ? There will be no way of setting the TTY= correctly while using privsep (Mainly for multiple streams over single session). The only thing we really could do is do: In do_setusercontext() if (use_privsep) aix_usrinfo(pw, NULL); and back in the old spot put: if (!use_privsep) aix_usrinfo(pw, s->ttyfd == -1 ? NULL : s->tty);

I was discussing with Don about a private topic..and while skimming the code I noticed that during a 'ssh mouring at site ls' the /etc/environment is *ONLY* read if the remote machine is an AIX box. This is undocumented and I'm wondering if someone using AIX could explain WHY it exists in the session.c:do_child()? No other OS has this. I don't see why AIX should require it.

Hello, Lastest stroy is that getent group "INS+Domain Admins" works, but getent group "INS+Domain Users" fails?!? Anybody have any information on this? This works fine with linux, but is not working with solaris. I saw some note somewhere about the number of users in a group causing problems. Was this not fixed? David

Recently we made somemajor changes to do_child() in OpenSSH -current. Those changes included splitting it up into smaller chunks to help with readability and also to extract out IRIX and AIX specific code to reduce the number of lines in our diffs against the OpenSSH tree. I need people to do some testing on different platforms to ensure that all the right #ifdef/#endif bits got put back in

hi friends, I have been playing with wine for quiet some time now. I wanted to check how many instance of wine can it run, and started opening wordpad. After 700 instances wine starts creating defunct process. The wine-pthread creates defunct. I don't know why. I checked the for free memory, and it is there in the system. So i don't what may be the problem. Is there any limitation

I am running samba 3.0.23 with winbind joined to a windows 2003 AD domain. Over time, I've noticed that winbindd shows forked zombied netstat processes, and over time, they continue to build up. Right now, there are hundreds of zombied netstat processes forked from winbindd shown by ps afx. Any ideas of what could cause this? Server role: ROLE_DOMAIN_MEMBER Press enter to see a dump
