similar to: [PATCH] Connect timeout

The attached patch adds a new 'ConnectTimeout' option (man page updated in patch) to avoid wasting time when the target host is down. I needed that because I was using rsync/rdist over ssh for massive files update and the default connect() took too long for my purpose. The patch was tested on Linux only, but I used a similar one for ssh 1.2.XX on Linux, Solaris and HP-UX without

Here are the new versions of this widely used patch for OpenSSH 3.2.2p1 and 3.2.3p1. The patch avoids waiting to long when using ssh() or scp() on a down host, it is usefull when you have to update many hosts via rsync or rdist themselves relying upon ssh(). It enables a new option 'ConnectTimeout' to control exactly the timeout value, so that it can be used even on slow links. These

Here is a version of this widely used patch specific for OpenSSH 3.1p1, as it is still not in the main tree (perhap one day...) The patch avoids spending too much time when doing an ssh()/scp() on a down host, as it does not depend off the default TCP timeout used by connect(). Patch was tested on Linux, Solaris and HP-UX. The patch can also be found on:

This patch avoids spending too much time during connect() when doing an ssh()/scp() on a down host. It uses a new client option called ConnectTimeout and is useful for rsync or rdist commands using ssh(). See http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=207 for detailled info. -------------- next part -------------- --- openssh-3.6.1p1/readconf.c.ORIG Tue Apr 15 23:06:30 2003 +++

Here is the version of this patch for the last portable version of OpenSSH (3.5p1), as it is not included in the main tree.

It enables a new option 'ConnectTimeout' to control exactly the timeout value, so that it can

Attached is a patch which adds a ConnectionTimeout option, and corrects the ConnectionAttempts documentation. Previously, ssh would try to make a connection ConnectionAttempts times, sleeping 1 second between tries. But each connection attempt could take a very long time to fail if the packets die before the get to the host. So if ssh is being run in a script or what-have-you, it might be

Hello, I use hosts that are dual stack configured (IPv4 and IPv6) and it happens that connectivity through one or the other is broken and timeouts. In these case connection to the SSH server can take quite some time as ssh waits for the first address to timeout before trying the next. So I gave a stab at implementing RFC 8305. This patch implements part of it in sshconnect.c. * It does not do

Being rather aggrevated when testing at the enforced 1 second delay between each connection attempt and the useless 1 second delay done after all connection attempts have failed I wrote a patch to make the number of seconds delayed between each connection attempt configurable.

OpenSSH supports the -b bind_address argument for binding to a local IP address when connecting to a remote host. It's however currently not possible to specify a local port to bind to, something I've found useful at several occasions. Below is an unified diff that introduces the [-B bind_port] option to ssh(1) and a ssh_config(5) style option "BindPort bind_port". This allows

Here is a patch to implement an exit delay in OpenSSH-3.0.2p1, proposed by John Hardin. This is his description of the feature: New option for OpenSSH: Delay before exit. Command line option: -S delay Config file option: sleep {delay} Purpose: Wait the specified number of seconds after last traffic before dropping the connection and exiting. If ports are forwarded, this causes the ssh client

I'm trying to replace some sshv1 clients and servers in a modular way, and the "Server Lies" warning (when the server says the key has one more bit than it really has) is causing heartache. Per the FAQ, this is relatively benign. Here's a patch that allows an admin or user to disable the warning. - Morty diff -Nur openssh-3.7.1p2/readconf.c

The hang-on-exit bug still hasn't been fixed in OpenSSH-3.0p1... :-( Here again is the patch to fix this bug under Linux, updated for OpenSSH-3.0p1. This has been exhaustively tested for six months now. It also add an exit delay option that can be useful. The patch does not lead to data loss under Linux. Please see the Secure NFS page (SNFS) for further details:

In the current implementation, ssh always uses the hostname supplied by the user directly for the SSHFP DNS record lookup. This causes problems when using the domain search path, e.g. I have "search example.com" in my resolv.conf and then do a "ssh host", I will connect to host.example.com, but ssh will query the DNS for an SSHFP record of "host.", not

Hello, I need to allow for some people to execute ssh with one shared private key for remote executing command on various machines. However, it is not possible to set group permissions for private keys and it is possible to have just one private key file for one user. Please, is it possible to add patches into openssh development tree like these, so that standard behavior of ssh is not changed,

A Feature Request for OpenSSH 3.x: In version 2.x, when prompting for the passphrase ssh would print a prompt including the comment string from an RSA key, like: Enter passphrase for RSA key 'Your Dog's Name': The comment string was a useful way to remind the user what the passphrase was (i didn't use hints quite this easy :-). In Openssh 3.0, ssh prompts using the filename:

Hello again! Since there was some resistance against adding TCP_NODELAY uncontionally, I've made another patch. The new patch contains the following: * Added a NoDelay yes/no (default no) config option to ssh and sshd * Added -oNoDelay=yes to the ssh command line for sftp. * Changed the sshd subsystem config option syntax from Subsystem name path to Subsystem name options path
