Hello again, I would like to thank Giant Wang and Miquel Bonastre for their responses to my query in "Samba Digest 1734" regarding simultaneous passwd changing for users via Samba. Their comments were helpful, but have not solved the problem. For those who do not have a back log of the Digests, the problem is that with unix password sync=yes, users are not able to change their own

Hi, I just got a comment from one of my IBM support engineeres that there is a problem with auth-passwd.c only calling authenticate() once. He claims it should potentially be called several times, in case several authetication methods are defined in /etc/security/user. F.ex.: SYSTEM = "NIS and DCE" Suggested (untested) patch should look like: ----------------- cut

We have come across a problem with OpenSSH 2.3.0p1 (and still in 2.5.1p1) which affect authentication on an AIX 4.3 system. The code in auth-passwd.c at line 168 reads: #ifdef WITH_AIXAUTHENTICATE return (authenticate(pw->pw_name,password,&reenter,&authmsg) == 0); #endif however, the AIX manual page for "authenticate" states: "The authenticate subroutine maintains

About a year ago I outlined a scheme for arranging chowning of the tty end of ptys without needing root privileges. Since then, I haven''t had time to actually implement it. I was thinking about the problem again today, and, having learned a bit about sessions and controlling ttys and stuff, was able to come up with a simpler mechanism. First, observe that the POSIX session mechanism, if

Hello, openssh-3.0.1p1 appears to transmit and parse tty modes correctly, but later in the code it uses vhangup() to close all tty references and reset the tty to default modes. I don't think that vhangup() should be needed on Unix98 ptys, possibly not even on BSD ptys, and I am probably wrong, so please tell me where. Of course vhangup() clears all tty modes, so you need to save them

Hey everyone, I wanted to add support for denying PTY allocation through OpenSSH. I'm not certain if this is quite thorough enough for all cases, but for me it might work for the moment. I know that you can currently do this through authorized_keys, but as far as I know that only works for an actual key. In my use case, I wanted a user with no password which is forced to run a specific

I suppose this could be considered off-topic, but having finally finished setting up my new workstation I thought I'd brain-dump some things that I had to work out how to do. I had a devil of a time googling for some of this stuff, and found lots of forum threads etc. where some of the same questions I had went essentially un-answered, so I wanted to put these tidbits out in a place where

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 This is a patch release which contains fixes to all the problems which have been reported over the last month. Most importantly: OpenSSL-0.9.5 has exposed a bug in RSA key generation on systems which lack a /dev/random (Solaris, HPUX, SCO). On such systems this port was not properly initialising OpenSSL's entropy pool. This results in lower

Hi David, I'm sure loginfailed(..) should be called immediately after authenticate(..) returned an error. It is directly related to an invalid password try. (Please see my attached mail from May 2001 to the list). I'm not so sure when loginsuccess(..) should be called (setting the loginfailed counter to zero): Either 1) when somebody logs in successfully using all kinds of valid

The patch below follows changes in AIX utmp handling made between AIX 4.3.3 and 5.1. With it, utmp entries are properly recorded again. The patch applies to OpenSSH 3.1p1, and seems to work fine. The co-worker who sent me the patch hasn't tested backwards compatibility on AIX 4.3.3 systems. Richard ------- *** openssh-2.9.9p2/auth-passwd.c.org Tue Jul 3 23:21:15 2001 ---

Dear list, since the order of authentication and AFS token/KRB TGT forwarding changed (around 3.0), we have had problems with users accidentally overwriting their credentials from a "password" login with forwarded credentials. E.g. user A logs in as user B, but stays with the AFS permissions of user A. A workaround is to use "-k" on these sessions, but "it worked without

Samba mount (from one of our build scripts). We decided to upgrade to RedHat 7.2 (which uses a newer version of Samba -- 2.1.1b IIRC), maybe that fixes the problem. However, I decided to submit this bug report, in the hope that it may help kill some bugs. (Remember -- the only good bug, is a dead bug :)) So, here is the dmesg output: Linux version 2.2.16-22enterprise

After some fiddling it appears issuing #kldload geom_mirror hangs the boxes very hard.

Hi All. First the questions: Is there anything objectionable in this patch? Is AUDIT_FAIL_AUTH appropriate for the "Reason" field? Now the details: attached is a patch that changes some of the #includes for AIX. It moves the AIX-specific includes to port-aix.h and adds includes that contain the prototypes for many of the authentication functions. The idea isto fix some warnings.

Hello, I've been facing a really stupid problem... When I try to plot using heatplot or hclust or any similar function, the labels of the x-axis - which are the samples names - are giant & overlapping. I can't even read the samples names! I tried cex.lab = 0.5, it helped only with the y axis and not the x-axis... Any help please?! -- View this message in context:
