similar to: 3.4p1 ssh-agent auth-retry patch available: was: Re: Updated ssh-agent authentication retry patch available

I wrote a patch to make the number of times and and the delay between retries that ssh attempts to talk to ssh-agent configurable. This patch is indispensible when running multiple ssh sessions in parallel from a script (e.g. to run commands on a large number of hosts); without the patch, many ssh sessions simply fail because they cannot contact the agent, rendering the mechanism unusable. If

How about adding a --no-detach option (to be used in combination with --daemon) to rsync so it can be run under Dan Bernstein's daemontools' supervise? If there's interest I'll provide a patch. -- Jos Backus _/ _/_/_/ Santa Clara, CA _/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/

Carson seems to be correct in that the problem is due to missing controlling terminal. I uncommented the setsid() in sshd.c and added some debugging log() calls to sshd, which generated the following: sshd[21690]: main: before setsid

Hi, I tried to compile rsync2.5.3 on Solaris5.7, and I still got the same errors as Solaris5.8, can you please help me to look at the problem? I got error messages: Configure was run successfully, then I ran make, I got: "batch.c", line 408: operands have incompatible types: pointer to unsigned long ":" pointer to unsigned int cc: acomp failed for batch.c ***

People might find this entertaining and/or useful: http://www.gnu.org/manual/autoconf-2.52/html_chapter/autoconf_10.html With the help of Jos Backus I just discovered the answer to http://lists.samba.org/pipermail/rsync-cvs/2002-January/001271.html is that Sun's test(1) is breathtakingly broken when passed a dangling symlink: $ ln -s /nowhere bad $ ls -l bad lrwxrwxrwx 1 josb

For anyone that has experienced the odd End of file or Cannot describe errors, we''ve found that switching to Mongrel has fixed this problem for us. We''re currently running 5 instance of puppetmaster under mongrel (with the apache proxy in front) and things are going great. For more information on setting up Mongrel, visit:

Here's a list of cosmetic changes I'd be willing to make to the code in order to make it more consistent, which stylisticly it currently is not. - separate function definitions by 2 newlines - put spaces after commas in arg lists - put spaces around assignments - remove trailing spaces - change space indents to tabs - fix multiline comments - remove redundant /* dw */ comments (Deborah

Andrew and I thought it might be an interesting experiment to move rsync to using BitKeeper rather than CVS for source code control. For a project with rsync's size and activity CVS is actually fine, but it would be a nice "toe in the water" with BitKeeper to get some practical experience before possibly using it on larger projects. BK is moderately well-proven on open source

[My apologies if this question is deemed inappropriate for this list.] Using OpenSSH, is it possible for a program/script to copy files with known filenames from a remote server (running sshd), without allowing (interactive) ssh access to that server? I.e. ``ssh server ls'' or ``ssh server'' should not be possible (for security reasons), but ``scp server:file .'' should.

I've finally gotten Samba (version 1.9.18p4) working on a RS/6000 server running AIX version 4.3.2, for a group of Windows NT 4.0 workstations on build 5 to access some shared directories. Everything works fine when I set them up - I have encrypt passwords = yes smb passwd file = /usr/local/samba/private/smbpasswd in my smb.conf, added the passwords to the smbpasswd file, and it

rsync+ is ready to go onto HEAD. Could Jos or somebody else who's used the feature before please prepare a few paragraphs for the manpage explaining how they work? Either send a patch to the .yo files or just plain text. Thanks, -- Martin

I see very odd results from rsync 2.4.7pre1, the latest cvs version (sept 12, i think was the last modified file). We have a number of network-attached storage devices. 10/100 ethernet, nfs2 mounted (under nfs3, they buffer deletes, and recursive deletions fail). Usually, these are kept syncronized across a wan by a nightly cronjob, We have a few we keep in reserve, which we syncronize

Howdy, We occassionally get the following error when running our nightly backups: rsync error: received SIGUSR1 or SIGINT (code 20) at rsync.c(229) This happens more on one or two machines than on any of the others. We've looked high and low to see if we're mistakenly sending these signals, but nothing is that we can find. Does anyone know what this might be from? Is it the server

I am re-posting this message from last Friday, as I have seen no replies. It is critical that we address this problem, since until then we cannot put more than a few hundred users on our server. If Dovecot-auth TRULY needs to keep open a file descriptor for every single login session, we will have to start looking at alternatives. In short: Help! ----- Forwarded message from Steven F Siirila

In dovecot-auth (rc15) we experienced problems when the file descriptors reached 256 (due to a Solaris fdopen() call described previously). The issue was that there was one file descriptor being used for every imap-login and pop3-login process (in our environment of SSL-only that means one for every active IMAP and POP connection). Mods were made (and appear in rc16) to close out the descriptor

OpenSSH still has this feature, SSH-1.2.27 no longer has it. Admittedly it can be useful sometimes, even though I'd prefer this to be done using a trivial shell wrapper, which would be the UNIX way of doing things. Not being able to call OpenSSH's ssh by another name (say ``ssh1'') can get in the way when having to maintain two versions of ssh in parallel because the ``ssh ->
