similar to: Rsync shortcutting output?

Hello all, My scripts, which read stdout from ssh, weren't seeing EOF from the remote session.? It was being sent, but lost.? I tracked it down to the following code, in ssh.c, at ssh_session2_open: ??????? if (stdin_null_flag) { ??????????????? in = open(_PATH_DEVNULL, O_RDONLY); ??????? } else { ??????????????? in = dup(STDIN_FILENO); ??????? } ??????? out = dup(STDOUT_FILENO);

At least it appears that way on my FreeBSD 8.1 system. This is probably unnoticeable in regular use but I happen to use CFengine(v2) for system configuration & monitoring. If it notices dovecot not running it tries to start it and hangs. I believe cfengine (cfagent) has created a pipe to monitor the start commmand's stderr and is waiting for this pipe to close. This never happens

- add a flag to request chroot for the process, which is done only as very last (before chdir) operation before exec'ing the process in the child: this avoids using CHROOT_IN & CHROOT_OUT around command* invocations, and reduces the code spent in chroot mode - add failure checks for dup2 and open done in child, not proceeding to executing the process if they fail - open /dev/null

In v2: - use int instead of bool in the public header - split the tests from the code - don't overload test-layers; instead, add new tests - add a missing fflush exposed by the new tests - other minor cleanups Eric Blake (3): server: Add nbdkit_stdio_safe server: Sanitize stdin/out before running plugin code server: More tests of stdin/out handling docs/nbdkit-plugin.pod |

I've been using ssh without it duping stdout and stderr, and had no problems.? I think this change should be made to the master source. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH SSH RIGHT NOW? It duplicates FILENO_STDOUT and FILENO_STDERR, thus there are two descriptors for each of these files.? When the remote program closes its stdout or stderr, the remote sshd sends the appropriate message to the local

This is what I've been playing with in response to my earlier question about what to do with 'nbdkit -s sh -' (https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2020-April/msg00032.html) I'm still open to ideas on a better name, and/or whether adding <stdbool.h> to our public include files is a good idea (if not, returning int instead of bool is tolerable).

V3 was here: <http://mid.mail-archive.com/20230215141158.2426855-1-lersek at redhat.com>. See the Notes section on each patch for the v4 updates. The series is nearly ready for merging: every patch has at least one R-b tag, except "socket activation: avoid manipulating the sign bit". The series builds, and passes "make check" and "make check-valgrind", at

hi, Ran into a problem which I thought was an AIXism, but have since found that it can be reproduced on Linux and MacOS. It can NOT be reproduced on OpenBSD. Reproduced on: AIXv7.1 OpenSSH v6.0p1 RedHat 6.8 OpenSSH 5.4p1 Redhat 7.2 OpenSSH 6.6.1p1 MacOS 10.11 (sorry, forgot to grab the OpenSSH version) Could not reproduce on: OpenBSD 5.9-current, march snapshot, OpenSSH_7.2 OpenBSD

Hello, I'm running a sshd server using the -e flag so that I can capture its whole output and later send it to the user. I'm also setting LogLevel to DEBUG1 in the configuration file and I don't want to disturb syslogd. But the problem is that it doesn't work as expected (or as I expect, which I think should be the correct behavior). The log file ends up being empty because the

(Versions: OpenSSH_3.7.1p2, rsync version 2.6.2) I've just encountered a situation where "rsync -v -n" appears to run normally, but reports many fewer file transfers than actually get done when you remove the -n. (This is not one of the usual "-n" corner cases.) It turns out that this only happens when you're doing a remote rsync over ssh AND you redirect stderr into

Please review the function below, forkoff(), meant to be used in clientloop.c instead of daemon() and the code in process_escapes(). The intention is to make ~D ( like ~& but also detach) possible and to make it possible for ssh -f (or ssh -f -f - see other thread on this) to detach, not just forkoff(). I also intend to use the same detach technique in a feature patch for the hang-on-exit

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1842440 Patches 1 and 2 address fairly obvious bugs in how we handle reading passwords from stdin. There are other ways we may consider fixing these bugs: - Should password=- always open /dev/tty and ignore stdin entirely? - Should we make password=-0/-1/-2 work by skipping the close? Or perhaps reopen the file descriptors on /dev/null after

Improve readability of commandrvf() by replacing bare int values for file descriptors with their symbolic names STD{IN,OUT,ERR}_FILENO.

Attached is what I got thus far. What I'm struggling with is proper integration in build system. What is in there is just wild guesses from my side, both on autoconf and cmake variants. It would be great if someone with proper knowledge of the buildsystems could have a look. Also I'm not sure how to properly handle compilation on msvc - clearly "-std=c11 -Wstrict-prototypes" is

Has anyone had success building a package on a windows machine? I am trying the following command with no luck (perhaps my flags are incorrect?). At this point I am stuck.

I have been having some difficulty with the installation of samba V2.0.3 on an ultraSparc 3000 server. I was able to get it built, I have configured, defined an smb.conf file, created an smbpasswd file, and I still get errors when I work through the Diagnosing Samba checklist. BTW, I have checked the conf file using testparms and corrected the problem mentioned there! I am using the newest source
