similar to: bugzilla down; patch for configure.ac --with-prngd-socket

I have a need to have the same OpenSSH binaries run on multiple machines which are administered by different people. That means on Solaris, for example, there will be some with /dev/random, some on which I can run prngd because they'll be installing my binaries as root, and some which will have neither because they will be only installed as non-root. Below is a patch to enable choosing all 3

[NOTE: I'm new to this list and this is my first approach to OpenSSH code.] I've enhanced "--with-prngd-port=PORT" flag to accept an optional hostname as in "myhost:myport", e.g.: % ./configure --with-prngd-port=example.com:12345 Although I'm certain that this may cause big trouble if remote gatherer isn't online (ssh will refuse to open any connection) I

Hi. I recently snookered myself: I build OpenSSH on an old box that didn't have /dev/random, but happened to be running prngd at the time for other reasons. Because I wanted to use commands, I configured --with-rand-helper, however configure found the prngd socket and built ssh-rand-helper to use it exclusively. Next reboot: no prngd, no random seed, no sshd. Do not log in, do not

Feb 12 CVS (sort of, see warning below) I've had to change around some of the code in configure.in to get some platforms to compile with the --with-tcp-wrappers option. Basicly I have set it up to check headers check system libraries check for optional packages check functions I have also tried to clean up the library order as it is important on some platforms. This patch works on Solaris

Hello! The top-level configure.in in the CVS version of Samba uses "echo" instead of the standard AC_MSG_* macros provided by Autoconf. I could not find any reasons for not using AC_MSG_*. "cvs log configure.in" doesn't list any reasons. "cvs annotate configure.in" doesn't work for read-only CVS because the CVS server for Samba is too old! The attached

configure.in patches for 2.9.9p2: 1. Allow --with-pcre to take a path specifying the root of the PCRE install (ROOT/include, ROOT/lib) 2. Ditto for --with-zlib 3. $no_libnsl and $no_libsocket can be determined programmatically 4. Check for innetgr, getspnam, and util in the default $LIBS before checking in -lrpc, -lgen, and -lutil, respectively 5. dirname() is in -lgen on some

Hi all! I do not know openssh patch policy so I am just sending the patch to the mailing list. Sorry for inconvenience. Ssh-agent seems to be too slow if you need to access thousands of servers. This is a simple patch to enable threading in ssh2 authentication. Patch adds "-p numthreads" option and defaults to the number of processors. I've tested it as I could, but

Here is a first patch in a series of similar ones (I hope). This patch is to make -lz used for only those programs that *really* need zlib (namely, ssh and sshd for now). There is no need to load libz.so for ssh-keygen, sftp and others. Related question. It seems ssh's configure script pickups -lnsl on linux -- what for? It is required on solaris, but not on linux. But on solaris, one

1. Add support for files >2GB via Paul Eggert's AC_SYS_LARGEFILE macro. This macro is now part of autoconf 2.50. Because of this, "config.h" needs to be included before system headers to get the appropriate defines for LFS support. openbsd-compat/sigact.c configure.in acinclude.m4 2. AIX defines TILDE in <sys/ioctl.h>. Rename to TILDE_CHAR. Feel

I developed a better prototype quicker than I expected. Please provide feedback. It's been a few years since I've used autoconf, so I'm not certain the new defines were integrated correctly.

Attached is a very small patch that allows the ssh clients to use the socks5 library. It should work with socks4 but is untested.

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

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, I apologize if this is the wrong list. It was the list I was directed towards. I have reviewed the archives as well as everything I could google before posting. Any help is most appreciated: We're seeing an error during sftp and ssh connections with consistent regularity. It's triggered by a high number of connections coming into sftp/ssh at the same time. It affects

I am running openssh 3.4p1 and had everything working fine, but then we had to upgrde the openssl. So did the same steps now openssh is not seeing prngd. We configure openssh with : --with-prngd-socket=/var/spool/prngd/pool this is what we saw with openssl-0.9.6g when I configured it: OpenSSH has been configured with the following options: User binaries: /usr/local/bin

Hi all. Now that we have SSHDLIBS for the libraries required by sshd only, it's possible to remove some of the single-purpose variables from Makefile. If this is worth doing, the next step would probably be to move the OpenSSL libs into CRYPTOLIBS since binaries such as scp and sftp don't need to be linked with libcrypto. Index: Makefile.in
