Hi, I apparently was asleep at the wheel using scp, and accidentally copied a file onto itself. Scp generated an Input/Output error and did not perform the copy. However, now the file is corrupt. Is this a but? Is there anyway to fix the file I messed up? Thanks, Don Gathman 208.396.6675

I spent some time debugging a failing Scp that turned out to be caused by the remote shell producing messages on Standard Output that aren't part of the SCP protocol. Scp from a remote system works by running another Scp on the remote system. The remote Scp writes SCP protocol messages (and file data) to its Standard Output, which the local Scp sees as Standard Input. But it's

You must mean your most wanted feature. Mine is the integration of Simon's GSS patches.

In the changelog, there is an entry: 20001129 - (djm) Back out all the serverloop.c hacks. sshd will now hang again if there are background children with open fds. Does this mean that this is regarded as expected (and correct) behavior, that should not change in the future, or does it mean that this behavior is a known problem that someone will eventually fix? --Adam -- Adam McKenna

I have an openssh RPM package that restarts the sshd server during an upgrade if the daemon is already running. So far, so good, restart works. But I observed the following behaviour: - when issuing rpm -Uvh bla.rpm, rpm, obviously, opens the rpm file and gets a file descriptor. Say, 8. - rpm does its stuff and spawns a shell to execute the %post script. The shell also gets fd 8 (should rpm

Hi, I would like to use Sweave to document a long function. Is it possible to split the function's code into chunks such that Sweave will accept each chunk without complaining.

Hello, Why does the configure scipt include -I/usr/local/include for CPPFLAGS and -L/usr/local/lib -R/usr/local/lib for LDFLAGS in the Makefile? Is this nesscesary? I take them out for security concerns Thanks Doug

When should sshd disconnect an SSHv2 connection? Markus Friedl says "for protocol v2 the client decides when to close the connection." In principle, I agree, because SSHv2 supports multiple sessions over the same connection, with the client able to launch new sessions anytime then it should be upto the client. But this would be a major cultural change for most users, and would break

Hi! Is there any reason why support for the libwrap code isn't included in the X11 forwarding code? I'd like to restrict access to that port. How many applications would break if the tcp port would be closed and only the unix-domain socket would be available? It's true that x11 forwardings can be considered as a security risk and they are disabled because of that by default. I

Nicolas, The timing attack described in the paper by Dawn Song et al. works by examining the timing of keystrokes. Currently OpenSSH sends a packet every time you press a key, thus it is possible to capture the approximate inter-keystroke timing of a user (they found minimal overhead in time from a key press to packet sent). Our patch causes a packet to be sent every 50 ms regardless of whether

Hello All, I'm using OpenSSH 4.3p2 in HP-UX 11.23. On running tusc (a tool to trace system calls and signals) on sshd, I found lot of close calls upto 2047. Those close calls try to close a non-opened file descriptor and results in an error. This behaviour is seen only from OpenSSH 3.9 where closefrom() call is introduced to close the file descriptors before re-exec. The fix is to check

So, we just found some ugly behaviour of OpenSSH on Solaris. Sometimes, it seems, sshd gets started with SIGCHLD blocked, this, apparently, being the setting of sshd's parent (a shell no doubt); signal blocking is inherited across exec*(). I don't know exactly which shell, or what really is at fault, but it happens. The problem is that the code in collect_children() first blocks SIGCHLD
