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\"

Hello, The item that causes me the most difficulty in deploying OpenSSH (and the commercial ssh, as well) is confusion over the large number of options for the configuration file; while the man page gives an explanation of each one, they are listed alphabetically there, with no "logical" grouping. For my own use, I've created a heavily annotated sample sshd_config file,

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);

Hello, OpenSSH 2.5.1p1 running under AIX 4.3.3ML06. When I send a HUP signal to the parent sshd, that parent process dies, it's children get "adopted" by init, and the following message is put in the error log ...

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, Folks ... Apologies in advance for the length of this message, but I wanted to be thorough, and provide as much info as I could. I'm trying to figure out a problem in trusted-host authentication using AIX hosts as clients, and a Sun host as the server; either I'm missing something real obvious, or there might be a bug somewhere in some piece of software involved here. -- All of

Hello, I believe that there is a bug in OpenSSH that affects its usage on AIX 4.3.3 - Maintenance Level 3 and higher. This bug was introduced by a change by IBM in the "/usr/lib/drivers/ptydd" driver, and it affected IBM's own telnetd daemon (reference

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.

I''ve "inherited" the administration of a puppet-dashboard (version 1.1.0, installed on RHEL 5.6 from puppetlabs RPM), and have hit a problem I''m hoping for some help with. In short, one table, "resource_statuses" appears to be growing at a rate far higher then the other tables: mysql> select count(*) from nodes; +----------+ | count(*) | +----------+ |

I hope someone can help. I've installed 2.9p2 on a number of AIX boxes and it works great. The problem is that a HUGE >700 number of defunct processes get generated by sshd. Did I do something wrong ? Any suggestions ? Please email chuck at fiu.edu as I don't subscribe to the list. TIA, Chuck -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Hi, I was looking through the source, and I noticed that the following code appears twice in the file serverloop.c. Is it supposed to, and if not, would there be any ill effect? +289 +290 /* Read and buffer any available stdout data from the program. */ +291 if (!fdout_eof && FD_ISSET(fdout, readset)) { +292 len = read(fdout, buf,

Hi everybody. I posted this also to comp.sec...ssh, so excuse me for multiple emails. I downloaded openssh-3.5p1 and compiled under AIX. Now, if I run that program, Sandor W. Sklar in bugzilla #124 suggested (see below), it works in linux, not in AIX 5.1. in AIX it produces the same "hang" as the original problems Ihave with "tclsh"-command. sshd hangs with this output:

I just tried to build the 4.7p1 on AIX 5.2, with Kerberos 5 enabled, using the IBM Kerberos implementation (krb5.client.rte, krb5.toolkit.adt, etc.) Is this supposed to work, or is the full MIT Kerberos distribution required? IBM provides an older version of OpenSSH (4.3p2), with Kerberos support, but there are some problems with it, and I was hoping the problems would be resolved with

My guess is that you started sshd using "sshd" (either from within /usr/local/sbin or with it in your PATH). > The sshd program is not named anything unusual, and is located in >

Some of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux servers in our environment sometimes get assigned virtual IP addresses (eth0:1, eth0:2, etc). Puppet Dashboard''s parameters seem like an ideal way to define and provision virtual IPs on these servers. One could create a "vip1" parameter on a node, and define a value of the IP address to use for that vip. A manifest could then be written to

Hi, News from the "AIX is different than the rest of the world" department... AIX has something similar to setluid() on SCO, just that it uses text strings (similar to setenv()) and calls it "usrinfo". I've appended the man page below. Under normal conditions, well-behaved applications use ttyname(), logname() and getuid() get the relevant informations, but today
