Hello, I'm not sure if this has already been addressed, I looked through the archives and can't seem to find anything. I also did some Usenet searching and only found one article mentioning this, and it was in French. Anyway, the problem is that it appears as though when using privsep opensshd doesn't execute pam_session as root, and this causes pam_mkhomedir to fail.

I am out of ideas about what the problem is. I am using the default sshd_config installed by the port. I can authenticate, copy files, and start processes, but sshd fails to create a tty session. This happens from remote machines and creating a session from the host machine. I find the following under messages. Aug 8 19:32:16 mongoloid sshd[44626]: fatal: mm_send_fd: sendmsg(4): Bad

I am attempting to run openssh 3.7.1p2 with privsep on AIX 5.2 ML2 (with the december 2003 critical patches also). This was compiled on the host machine with the IBM Visual Age C compiler (C for AIX Compiler, Version 5). I did not have any trouble compiling. My configure was ./configure --with-tcp-wrappers, and I have the freeware tcp wrappers (freeware.tcp_wrappers.rte 7.6.1.5), and a compiled

Hi, I am having trouble running sftp from the openssh package openssh-5.5p1. There seems to be an authentication problem. This is what happens: $ sftp -o "Port 2022" testu at localhost testu at localhost's password: Connection closed QUESTION: Can someone spot the problem please? How do I fix this? FURTHER INFORMATION I can run openssh's ssh: $ ./ssh -p 2022 testu at

Hello, after upgrading my redhat 8.0 notebook to openssh3.7.1p2 linux port I now could not login/scp into it (as root or myself). /var/log/messages said the authentication was successful, then the connection closed immediately. I was using the default sshd_config that comes from the installation (via rpmbuild from the srpms file under the portable directory). (The client connection was initiated

Hello list! So I recently reconfigured our office network to allow a permanent VPN connection to our data center. This consists of a Juniper SSG-520 connected via a tunnel to a Juniper Netscreen-25 over a 100M leased NTT VPN (yes I'm tunneling over the VPN as it's the only way to make it routable.) Here is where OpenSSH come in. When I try and ssh to a machine on the other end

All, I'm working on upgrading a machine from RH 6.2 to RH 8.0. I've encountered one major (for me) snag in that I cannot get X11 forwarding to work anymore. I've been google-ing the error messages all morning, with no luck. Here is debugging output from the server (client debugging output sent upon request... I don't feel it is relevant). What I feel is interesting is at the

Hi. There should be a checklist of everything that can go wrong with making an ssh connection. Here's one entry for the list, which I didn't know before, and * I couldn't see the problem from the -ddd and -vvv output, and * there were no /var/log/* file entries to give hints. Here's what I did sudo kill <pid-of-sshd> /usr/sbin/sshd No good. Usually I did kill

Hello, I'm trying to setup a chroot for one user on my AIX 5.2 system I have tried with openssh 5.0 (don't know where it comes from) and as it didn't work, I have downloaded and compiled the current version (6.6p1) When I connect, password is checked, chroot is done, sftp subsystem is accepted, but I get disconnected without any error Below is all can say about my config (after

Hello, I got some weird problem with public key authentication using rsa key pair.

Hi Darren/Damien, Sorry for responding so late. Still hope we can get this sorted out. Yes I am indeed using PAM for ssh authentication and disabling priv seperation is a no-go for us since it opens up a security loophole. From what I can see in ptree and auth logs, when the child passwd process returns with SIGCHLD, the parent sshd process terminates. Sshd logs are as follows as requested at

Team - I'm running Solaris 9 and gcc 3.1 on a Blade 1000, named jefferson. I built OpenSSH_3.3. I can use the client to connect out, but cannot use the client to connect to localhost (nor can I use a Linux box with OpenSSH_3.2.3 to connect to it). I *can* use F-Secure 3.0.0 on a Windoze box to get into it. I've tried configurations both with and without privsep enabled but get the same

Hello developers, some informations before I come to the problem: At work we're using Open-SSH 3.4p1 under Solaris 8. I compiled the Open-SSH by myself with gcc-3.1. In the gcc is the bounds checking patch included (http://web.inter.nl.net/hcc/Haj.Ten.Brugge/bounds-checking-gcc-3.1-1.01.patch.bz2). With this patch I compiled: - prngd 0.9.25 - zlib 1.1.4 - Open-SSL 0.9.6d Everything
