The attached patch adds an option (off by default to preserve current behavior) to set a timeout on the select() statement that waits for input in clientloop.c. This fixes a timeout issue for me (explained below) and probably also fixes the timeouts mentioned in last month's thread "Idle time out". The patch is also available by http from:

I'm reading this fine article on O'Reilly: http://linux.oreillynet.com/lpt/a//linux/2001/11/08/ssh_keystroke.html <quote> The paper concludes that the keystroke timing data observable from today's SSH implementations reveals a dangerously significant amount of information about user terminal sessions--enough to locate typed passwords in the session data stream and reduce the

Hi OpenSSH developers, I am using openSSH (now 2.9.9p2, but prob occurs in 2.9p2 also) to execute commands on a remote machine which outputs data to stdout then pipes it to another invocation of ssh which connects back to the first machine in the same way, where it starts a program to read and store the output from the command on the second machine. I am using the "command" option in

Hello, In response to the timing analysis attacks presented by Dawn Song et. al. in her paper http://paris.cs.berkeley.edu/~dawnsong/ssh-timing.html we at Silicon Defense developed a patch for openssh to avoid such measures. Timing Analysis Evasion changes were developed by C. Jason Coit and Roel Jonkman of Silicon Defense. These changes cause SSH to send packets unless request not to,

Hi all, This is a client side only implementation of reversed dynamic (SOCKS) TCP forwarding, which means it is compatible with any existing servers have 'remote forward' capability. To establish such forward, use "ssh -R [BIND_ADDRESS:]PORT ...". The server will listen on that port and address and accept SOCKS traffics. Hope this will be useful for you. There was an

Hello, ? I need to make many (>50) ssh connections from linux to cygwin at the same time. Using Windows 2000 Server (OpenSSH_4.3p2, OpenSSL 0.9.8b and updated cygwin) and Linux RHEL4 (OpenSSH_3.9p1, OpenSSL 0.9.7a). ? It's been difficult to optimize many simultaneous connections. Here were some issues: 1.?????? On Windows XP/Professional, Microsoft intentionally cripples the TCP/IP stack.

Here is my third attempt at the idletimeout patch. I tried to address the points which Marcus Friedl brought up. It is actually bigger than the previous patches, but not as intrusive. It is big because it moves some stuff from serverloop.c to packet.c. - I moved all the logic to packet.c. This means that I also had to move the actual select() call, which used to be in serverloop.c to packet.c.

Yes, this is a patch against an older version of OpenSSH with other stuff anyways, BUT, it's so TRIVIAL(*), that you can see how it would apply to newer versions (which I've not tried). Here's the gist: server_loop2() has a race condition with respect to reception of SIGCHLD and checking/setting child_terminated. This patch does two things: wait_until_can_do_something() adds a 1

In our work with enabling large windows for openssh we found 1) that if a window > 0x10000 is advertised to openssh's sshd 2) the sshd tries to send more than 0x10000 bytes of data 3) the receiver does not consume them 4) the input buffer will grow larger than the size allowed by buffer.c and fatal(). We believe the correct behavior is to limit reading into the channel input buffer to

In the changelog, there is an entry: 20001129 - (djm) Back out all the serverloop.c hacks. sshd will now hang again if there are background children with open fds. Does this mean that this is regarded as expected (and correct) behavior, that should not change in the future, or does it mean that this behavior is a known problem that someone will eventually fix? --Adam -- Adam McKenna

I am running OpenSSH 2.9p1 on SunOS 5.7 w/4-24-2001 patch cluster. Like many other users I am seeing the hanging session on logout with background processes. This is a huge problem for me as I centrally manage 50+ machines with rdist across ssh. Instead of just complaining about the problem I thought I would put my CS degree to use and try to track down the problem myself. For starters,

The 4.6p1 sshd is logging this error during remote commands or file transfers: error: channel 0: chan_read_failed for istate 3 Platform is Solaris 8, 4.6p1 + OpenSSL 0.9.8d. The commands and transfers work correctly, so the error message appears to be spurious. The error message does not appear when processing logins. Otherwise 4.6p1 is running without any apparent problems. This error

Hi, I'm a newbie to openssh and was trying to read the source code recently. Could anyone tell me why in sshd the connection_in and connection_out are the same(seems to be integer 3 in my machine). connection_in is used in process_input(readset), and connection_out is used in process_output(writeset); But how does it work if it tries to read and write from the same file descriptor? /Bob

Hi! as I just noted, after scp the connection does not shut down properly. When I do a "scp file targethost:path", on targethost a "sshd" process is left running. I do use --with-default-path="/usr/local/openssh/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin" to assure, that the corrensponding openssh-scp is used. It also seems, that normal sessions are not always closed properly.
