Add -n to the ssh command line - see if that fixes it.

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

While I was updating our ssh-servers, I rewrote my old patch that adds idletimeout (just like in old ssh1) parameter to openssh. Since reapplying the patch for all new versions of openssh is not fun at all, I would like to have it included in the official openssh, if you consider the patch worthy. Unlike ClientAlive, idletimeout works for both protocol versions. It also works together with

The hang on exit has become quite an issue in my organization(Sun and HP hosts). I see this note in the changelog which indicates that there will not be a fix for this problem: 20001129 - (djm) Back out all the serverloop.c hacks. sshd will now hang again if there are background children with open fds. Also, I am aware of the workaround as noted in the FAQ. However this workaround is not

Here is my third attempt at the idletimeout patch. I tried to address the points which Marcus Friedl brought up. It is actually bigger than the previous patches, but not as intrusive. It is big because it moves some stuff from serverloop.c to packet.c. - I moved all the logic to packet.c. This means that I also had to move the actual select() call, which used to be in serverloop.c to packet.c.

http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=369 ------- Additional Comments From devel at pitux.com 2002-09-10 19:19 ------- I confirm that this bug does exist. It's especially annoying since we use here a lot of scripts which check for the return values of scp to indicate success or failure. In fact it does the good thing on nonexistent files/dirs/etc, but fails in case of auth

OpenStep, apparently, does not initialize new pty/tty modes to a sane default. I'm thinking this code snippet, added to tty_parse_modes() before the for(;;) loop should suffice: #ifdef HAVE_NEXT tio.c_oflag |= ONLCR; tio.c_lflag |= ECHO; #endif /* HAVE_NEXT */ Also, I've noticed that "ssh -t next_host stty" gives different output than an interactive session to the same

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

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. I have tried various approaches without sucess but I feel sure that someone has done this already. Here is one attempt ============== % First, define the funciton header <<defFunHdr, eval=FALSE>>= x <-

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

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

Yes, this is a patch against an older version of OpenSSH with other stuff anyways, BUT, it's so TRIVIAL(*), that you can see how it would apply to newer versions (which I've not tried). Here's the gist: server_loop2() has a race condition with respect to reception of SIGCHLD and checking/setting child_terminated. This patch does two things: wait_until_can_do_something() adds a 1

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
