similar to: about testing SSH5.6 new feature.

Specifying a RemoteForward of 0:example.com:1234 dynamically allocates the listen port on the server, and then reports it to ... the client! Where it is practically useless. Was this someone's idea of a joke? Presumably not--there are some technical obstacles to reporting it to the remote process. I'd like to help solve that problem. The natural way to me would be to extend the syntax

Hi all. I have a simple feature request for the devs and maintainers; when forking into the background using the -f optarg one would normally have to consult the process table of whatever OS they're running to find the process. Would you consider adding another optarg to write the PID out to stdout or a pidfile? This would be rather helpful in several usecases. Thanks, -c

Hi, OpenSSH 5.6 is almost ready for release, so we would appreciate testing on as many platforms and systems as possible. This is a moderately large release, with a number of new features and bug fixes. Snapshot releases for portable OpenSSH are available from http://www.mindrot.org/openssh_snap/ The OpenBSD version is available in CVS HEAD: http://www.openbsd.org/anoncvs.html Portable OpenSSH

There is a race in the setup of the ControlMaster socket in auto mode, as illustrated by the following command line: ssh -oControlMaster=auto -oControlPath=sock localhost 'sleep 1; echo 1' & ssh -oControlMaster=auto -oControlPath=sock localhost 'sleep 2; echo 2' & Both of the commands will try to start up as a control client, find that sock does not exist, and switch into

Hi, (I'm not subscribed to the list, so please CC me on reply.) I'd like to request adding a feature to OpenSSH: Task: ~~~~~ It is quite sometime useful to invoke a program prior to connecting to an ssh server. The most common use case will probably be port knocking. That is a small program sends certain packets to a server and the server reacts to this by unlocking the ssh port, which

Hi, A user has noticed that X11 forwarding does not appear to work when using session multiplexing. It seems that the DISPLAY environment variable is not getting set in the slave sessions. Any thought? The ~/.ssh/config ib below. Host somehost-master ControlMaster yes ControlPath ~/.ssh/somehost.sock HostbasedAuthentication no HostName somehost Host somehost-slave ControlPath

I noticed "make tests" for openssh-5.2p1 fails the multiplex.sh tests. Turns out this is because I happen to have some non-standard configuration options in $HOME/.ssh/config and most of the multiplex.sh tests do not use a "-F $OBJ/ssh_config" option, which means they end up reading the users $HOME/.ssh/config. Is this on purpose or a bug?

Dear dovecot developers, I have an issue with the Pigeonhole IMAPSieve Plugin and the order in which administrator scripts are executed. Although I cannot find anything about the order in which the scripts are executed, I would expect they are executed in the order they are defined: the one defined by imapsieve_mailbox1_* before the one defined by imapsieve_mailbox2_* in case both match. I

Hi folks, I find that nmblookup seems to be receiving responses to name queries, but ignoring them. Here's what's happening: # nmblookup somehost querying somehost on x.y.255.255 name_query failed to find name somehost But watching the transaction with ethereal on the local host, I see that: 1. nmblookup on local udp port nnnn (some random number above 1024) sends an nbns

Puppet 0.24.8... I am trying to use ssh_authorized_key to create passwordless logins for a couple of accounts. The important thing to note is I''m trying to get the source ("root@somehost" below) as part of the key, and the same key needs to be added to two different accounts on the system. It appears that the resource name is the only place I can set the originating source

Currently, LogLevel must be set to VERBOSE to see the fingerprint of an accepted key, and the default LogLevel is INFO. Since this is useful security information, I would like to propose that the 'Accepted publickey' message be modified to include the fingerprint of the accepted key. Is this a reasonable solution? Here is an example log snippet with LogLevel VERBOSE: Oct 1 15:23:24

With openssh, i can use -L x:y:z to forward a local port x to the remote host y's port z. If the sshd server has more than one IP, is there a way to specify which it binds to when forwarding the connection? If not, this may be a feature you should consider adding? -- -*% % % % % % % % % % % % % % % % *- -* xercist *- -* xercist at mindless.com *- -* % % % % % %

Hi all, currently I am considering writing a patch for OpenSSH that will allow portforwarding using the control_master unix domain socket. The idea is to introduce an extra SSHMUX command, SSHMUX_COMMAND_SOCKS, which will then pass control to the normal socks functions used for dynamic forwarding. The main reason for me to write this patch are: - some more control over who gets to connect to

OpenSSH 5.6 has just been released. It will be available from the mirrors listed at http://www.openssh.com/ shortly. OpenSSH is a 100% complete SSH protocol version 1.3, 1.5 and 2.0 implementation and includes sftp client and server support. Once again, we would like to thank the OpenSSH community for their continued support of the project, especially those who contributed code or patches,

Hello, according to manual (https://tinc-vpn.org/documentation-1.1/Host-configuration-variables.html#Host-configuration-variables), if there are multiple Address variables in host config file, each of them should be tried until a working connection is established.
