similar to: "ssh user@server /bin/sh" vs "no-pty" option.

Hello! Is it possible to make the sources a bit more portable? I'm on QNX4 with Watcom C v10.6B which has no support for int64. I'd like to be able to compile as many modules as do not depend on int64. (Currently I do not need SFTP that bad, the SSH is enough for me) -- Best regards, Anthony mailto:rz1a at mail.ru

PIZZACODE SECURITY ALERT program: rssh risk: low[*] problem: string format vulnerability in log.c details: rssh is a restricted shell for use with OpenSSH, allowing only scp and/or sftp. For example, if you have a server which you only want to allow users to copy files off of via scp, without providing shell access, you can use rssh to do that. Additioanlly, running rsync, rdist, and cvs are

Hello list! Not sure if this is a proper list to ask and it's not strictly OpenSSH related. I put the "no-pty" option on a key and try to login with it. As it should be - the shell access is denyed. However, I get an unrestricted access if I execute a command like this: $ ssh user at server /bin/sh I get the shell that just has no prompt but works as usual. All this

Hello list, Again not sure if this is a right place to ask. I read the "Snail book" (SSH, The secure shell. The definitive guide. 1st ed.) and try to figure out whether I need a copy of the ssh-agent running on a host through which I try connect further. The Snail book recommends running the ssh-agent on the remote host always if the TTY is allocated (i.e. I not just

List, I am putting together a sftp server and would like to use a restrictive shell with a chroot jail. I was wondering what members of the list thought about rssh as opposed to scponly. Greg Ennis

rssh is a small shell whose purpose is to restrict users to using scp or sftp, and also provides the facilities to place users in a chroot jail. It can also be used to lock users out of a system completely. William F. McCaw identified a minor security flaw in rssh when used with chroot jails. There is a bug in rssh 2.0 - 2.1.x which allows a user to gather information outside of a chrooted jail

Since rsync 3.0 i've detected a problem with rssh and -e option....rssh doesn't allow this option...but is essential to me (cyphered transmission with ssh). Surfing the net i've seen a guy that made a patch but I don't know how reliable is...and rssh former programer says he just left the project so it's no longer his problem. Is this stuff going to be updated in rsync or is

Affected Software: rssh - all versions prior to 2.3.0 Vulnerability: local user privilege escalation Severity: *CRITICAL* Impact: local users can gain root access Solution: Please upgrade to v2.3.1 Summary ------- rssh is a restricted shell which allows a system administrator to limit users' access to a system via SSH to scp, sftp, rsync, rdist, and cvs. It also allows the system

Hi! I do not know if it's the ideal place, but I'm sending some suggestion. Always use openssh and its enormous features. - I needed to create an environment with only sftp access and thus used: - Match User suporte ForceCommand / usr / lib / openssh / sftp-server OK! It worked perfectly! But only sftp. - Create an environment with only blocking the ssh, but scp and

I was trying to use rsync to send files to a fileserver using an rssh restricted server. It refuses, saying that trying to override the shell with -e is forbidden. I didn't type "-e". When I look at the source, I see /* Checking the pre-negotiated value allows --protocol=29 override. */ if (protocol_version >= 30) { /* We make use of the -e

Good Morning All, Attached is a full patch [or so I hope] enabling chroot support for sshd. I know varied opinions about chroot exist among the masses; however, I continue to believe that until something far outside the scope of openssh tackles the sandbox issue, the role of enforcer will continue to be with the daemon. This patch is based on a previous work by John Furman as well as Eric

Hi, As per the subject line - if I look up setting up chroot jails for SFTP over SSH2 I'm led to various Web sites and patches and also to a CentOS wiki page dated 2005, but what's the 'best' or 'correct' way to set this up for Centos 4.5 and 5? Thanks

Hi, my goal: sftp/scp only access, without the need for linux users. I want to provide 10 sftp/scp directories to 10 people. Let's call this "virtual account" I don't want to create linux users for each of them. I would like to create one linux user (backup_user). In his home-directory will be 10 directories. For each "virtual account" one directory. Every

I just released rssh version 2.2.3 to fix the problem detailed below. I haven't had time to update my website yet, and my Internet acess is quite limited these days (hence the terse announcement), so I probably won't get to that for a while. However, rssh 2.2.3 is available from the sourceforge.net site: http://sourceforge.net/projects/rssh All users of rssh should update to the

Hi, I'm looking for a way to force users to use a pty and their login shell. They have a .profile that forces them to use a specific application. They are currently logging in with telnetd, so this is effective. I want to move to openssh, but this would allow "ssh user at host /bin/sh" and any other commands they can think of to bypass this restriction. Is there a way to

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'm pleased to announce that rssh now has per-user configurations! Today I released rssh v2.1.0 with that last peice of functionality to be added, bringing active development of rssh to a close. Additionally, I spent several hours testing and debugging this release as thoroughly as I could think to, and I'm pleased to report (tongue in cheek)

Hi Toni, I'm sorry, I haven't had much time to work on this today. When I run sshd (from the patched snapshot) in a debugger, with a breakpoint early in setup_sia(), this is what I find after connecting with a client: (1) There are two sshd processes. One is running as root, and the other as the user I logged with using the client. The root process is the one in the debugger,
