similar to: Re: scp -t . - possible idea for additional parameter‏

How difficult would it be to add an additional parameter to the -t that would *lock* the user at that directory level. say -T instead of -t... By locking, I mean translating /path/to/file as ./path/to/file, or ../../../path/../../../path/to/file as ./path/to/file. Basically set a root point as the current home directory, then build the pathing based on that, any "../" would become

Hey all, on the distcc mailing list, a thread about load balancing got a bit out of hand, and we started thinking about moving fsh-like connection caching into ssh itself to get rid of the overhead of starting up the python interpreter to run rsh. (Interestingly, mit's "rex", described at http://www.lcs.mit.edu/publications/pubs/pdf/MIT-LCS-TR-884.pdf, considers connection caching

Jefferson Ogata's patch http://marc.info/?l=openssh-unix-dev&m=108134938701018&w=2 adds a multiple authentication methods option to sshd. I updated the patch to 4.7p1 and added logic to allow it to work with privilege separation. https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1435 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Hi :-) We use ssh-agent for batch jobs. The jobs get the key from the ssh-agent over the envoirment variables. When we start many jobs at the same time, the agent dont give the key to the job. We have tracet the our script an see the follow: ... 26918: 0.0004 so_socket(PF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0, "", 1) = 13 26918: 0.0001 fcntl(13, F_SETFD, 0x00000001) = 0 26918: 0.0003 connect(13,

Hi I have a daemon application that binds and listens on a TCP socket. To add security, I'd like to embed ssh/sshd in my application to handle the encryption and authentication for me. How do you suggest I go about it? Regards, Jaco -- "The future belongs to those who believe in their dreams." -- Nelson Mandela

Hello, Attached is a patch to add support for an "include" file in ssh configs. It is written against openssh-5.2p1. ## ~/.ssh/config Include ~/.ssh/config.contrib ## end - Leading ~/ expands to $HOME according to getpwuid_r?. - Leading ~username expands to $HOME for username according to getpwnam_r. - Fallbacks to /home/$USER are implemented for when struct passwd.pw_dir is NULL?

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

Hi all, Today, I was tasked at work with setting up a chroot SFTP server on a 64bit Arch Linux server. I naturally turned to Arch Linux's wiki article on the subject (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SFTP-chroot) and the directions were very clear. However, the directions did not work. I kept getting a "Write failed: Broken pipe" error after attempting to connect. Upon digging

All, I have been using the following as a means of rate limiting access to the Internet via eth0 (which connects to my cable modem) and it was working great with my 2.4.20 kernel: tc qdisc del dev eth0 root tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: htb default 1 tc class add dev eth0 parent 1: classid 1:1 htb rate 486kbit ceil 486kbit tc qdisc add dev eth0 parent 1:1 handle 10: sfq perturb 10

Hi, This is sort of a strange issue. But I am experimenting with ways to have a user log in and be presented with a perl script to interact with. When I do either or both of the following: 1) set the user's shell to /usr/bin/myperlscript 2) specify ForceCommand /usr/bin/myperlscript, applied to my user ...I get strange behavior when a command is appended to the client connect

Hey everyone, I hope this isn't an old issue; I wasn't able to locate it in the archives. I have a number of scripts which make use of ssh -i and scp -i, where the target host has the specified key in its authorized_keys file with a command= override to do immediate processing of the received data. This works extremely well, as we are able to establish single-function, triggered-action

Hi I have written a small introduction to newbies in Danish on ssh and friends. Now some people are questioning my advice and I think they have a point. I am advocating people to use DSA-keys and a config file with this: Protocol 2 ForwardAgent yes ForwardX11 yes Compression yes CompressionLevel 9 and running ssh-agent and ssh-add, and then loggin in without giving keys. One

Hi, many people are having problems using SFTP with ChrootDirectory when the jail directory (or the path above) is not owned by root. The question is if chroot'ing to usual home directories can be allowed, even though they are owned by regular users. I know that this topic has been discussed on the list several times now, so I searched the list archives for posts that invalidate the

The native authentication methods of openssh are (not counting insecure RhostsRSAAuthentication) 1) public key 2) password For users with home dirs in AFS space, method 1) does not work. Except with (non foolproof) fiddling on the access controls within the home directory. This might lead to security issues when done by inexperienced users. Without some work, only 2) remains. Being forced to send

According to the manpage: UseDNS Specifies whether sshd should look up the remote host name and check that the resolved host name for the remote IP address maps back to the very same IP address. The default is ``yes''. Thing is, while sshd *checks*, this doesn't actually control whether or not the client is allowed to connect, it seems at most to be an option that causes

Are there any plans on the table to add native support for two-factor authentication, such as password *and* public key? Visa PCI standards require two-factor authentication for remote access and if password+key was available in openssh it would be much easier to maintain and support than a full-blown vpn with all the cross-platform compatibility issues that come with one. Thanks! Jacob
