similar to: Alternate Install Location Patch Proposal

I've been working on a NetBSD package for openssl-1.2pre12, and I've noticed that Makefile.in installs ssh-askpass in $prefix/lib/ssh ($libdir) instead of $libexecdir/ssh. Since it is an executable, IMHO it should be in the latter spot. In the patch below, I've fixed this, as well as made ASKPASS_PROGRAM used during the install so that it's easier to maintain. Thanks, David ---

Please excuse me for mailing you directly instead of using the 'sendbug' facility; it seems to be an OpenBSD-only facility, and I didn't see a bug-tracking interface on the web site. I know the "UseLogin" feature is deprecated (to some degree, at any rate), however, on a Red Hat 6.2-based system, it is broken, because ssh.h statically defines LOGIN_PROGRAM as /usr/bin/login,

the configure option --program-prefix does not work although it is listed in teh configure --help output. The attached patch fixes these issues: 1) program prefix is not substituted in configure 2) program prefix is not present in Makefile 3) scp requires use of a known "scp" program -- bryan diff -cr openssh-2.9.9p2.orig/Makefile.in openssh-2.9.9p2/Makefile.in ***

Dear openssh-developers, the new external program ssh-rand-helper appeared in OpenSSH 3.1. While the SFTP_SERVER is defined using a _PATH_SFTP_SERVER pointing to SFTP_SERVER in Makefile.in and defining a default-path in pathnames.h the ssh-rand-helper is simply SSH_RAND_HELPER and defined with a fixed path in Makefile.in and not having a default in pathnames.h. I propose a handling analogous to

If you want to override CFLAGS on the make line (eg. "make CFLAGS='-O3'"), you lose because you end up stomping preprocessor flags as well. Preprocessor should be in CPPFLAGS. The following patch takes care of this. -Fred Index: Makefile.in =================================================================== RCS file: /cvs/Darwin/Services/OpenSSH/openssh/Makefile.in,v

what do you think about this patch to add the path to scp to _PATH_STDPATH? is there a better or cleaner way to do this? i'm hoping to ward off 'scp doesn't work' questions for the next release. i did *not* add this to a --with-default-path path, because if a user specifies that, they should control its value completely.

Below I've includes a patch which helps build OpenSSH outside from a read-only source tree, find OpenSSL on Mac OS X, and fix a typo. This applies to OpenSSH 2.1.1p4. You should already have gotten a note from Melissa O'Neil about a conflict with the crc32() symbol in zlib, which was causing a crash on Darwin. I've noticed another bug. If ssh is setuid, I get a permission

[Please Cc: me, I'm not on the list] fsh (http://www.lysator.liu.se/fsh/) is a program that keeps an ssh tunnel open and multiplexes multiple batch sessions through that single connection, avoiding slower public key crypto for things like cvs. fsh includes an utility called fcp that can multiplex file copies through this single connection. It relies on scp for the actual file copying,

Hi, I recently ported OpenSSH to my hobbyist operating system. The portable release is very straightforward to work with, but it had a few minor issues where it assumes the existence of things that might not be on a POSIX 2008 system. This are the list of issues I encountered that I believe makes sense to upstream. * <sys/param.h> is included in many files and isn't a standard

Hey folks, Here at USC we have a few changes we make to the source code for various reasons -- and we have to make them for each new version. I always shrugged off sending a patch in because the changes felt very internal, but the more I think about it, the more I think perhaps they would be good for the main tree. Additionally, the more of this that gets into the main tree the easier upgrades

For various reasons, it makes our life easier at USC to have a 'install-nosysconf' target much like the install-nokeys target that was added a while back. I mentioned this a few months back on this list and people seemed to think it wouldn't be a problem to get it into the mainline tree. I've attached the patch -- it should keep 100% backwards compatibility. Thanks. -- Phil

Hi there, I have a need to have scp pass the -P option to ssh to "bypass" the packetfilters that doesn't allow connections to return to arbitary "priviledged" ports, ie. ports <1024. See attached context sensitive diffs against 2.2.0p1 to please integrate. Thanx Hendrik Visage -------------- next part -------------- *** 1.1 2000/10/11 13:31:45 --- scp.c 2000/10/11

If you've applied my previous scp patch with the tempfile options and the erase option, here's a diff that tweaks it a bit more. Previously I had decided to use getcwd() in a certain local-to-local special case (that needs to use scp rather than regular cp). This was because spawing scp via ssh resets the current directory. This patch choose to forego that in favor of a simpler

Hello, in order to use "scp", the scp binary has to be in the compile-time default path on the remote host. For some users (like root), we try to avoid this since scp may be on a network file system (AFS/NFS), and we don't want to hang root's session on network outages. Would a patch to scp be acceptable in the main tree that allows to set the path to remote scp explicity,

Hi there, I've written some enhancements to scp.c and pathnames.h to enable the scp to arbitrarily set the remote scp path. (eg $ scp -e /usr/bin/scp foo user at bar:foo) I did read the "scp: command not found" FAQ entry but I'm not quite sure why we can't do this, unless it's because enhancements to scp are no longer a priority. Any other reason why it "is the

I am impressed by all the paths that Configure lets me set for Openssh. I don't think I've ever seen an Autoconf package give me so much flexibility. But I found one missing. Makefile.in has SSH_PROGRAM hardcoded as @BINDIR@/ssh. It would be nice if I could specify the whole value as a Configure parameter. Being able to override it with an environment variable would be even nicer. I

Hi, This patch adds a BSD compatible install script (copied from gcc-2.95.2) to 1.2pre14. The script has a X-style license. The script will be used if configure doesn't find a proper install program on the system. Remember to run autoconf and set execute (755) permissions for install-sh when the patch has been applied. -- Niels Kristian Bech Jensen -- nkbj at image.dk --
