OpenSSH-2.9p1 is now available from OpenSSH.org. For FreeBSD-4.1, it "compiles out of the box". No changes to CONFIGURE or anything is needed. Important comment about OpenSSH-2.9 SFTP-SERVER and ssh.com SFTP client: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ If remote host contains a shell RC file with any ECHO commands in it, the resultant packets sent back to ssh.com-SFTP will cause it to abort and terminate its connection. The remote host forks a shell call in response to the client ssh.com-SFTP connection, with a command parameter of sftp-server. Shell RC file ECHO commands that cause the client ssh-com-SFTP program to abort and close its connection, appears to likewise terminate the remote Unix host forked shell command, and sftp-server never gets run. Solution: make sure that any remote (Unix) host shell RC file either has no ECHO commands in it, or has sufficient logic to detect an SSH related connection and then prevents any ECHO commands from being executed. The shell RC ECHO lines cause the ssh.com-SFTP client to abort. -- [what I USED to be ...] ________________________________________________________________________ SIU.EDU - DNS Admin, Postmaster, SMTP Admin, Netnews Admin SIUCVMB.SIU.EDU - DNS Admin, Postmaster, SMTP Admin, Sr TCP/IP Sys Prog SIUCMVSA.SIU.EDU - DNS Admin, Postmaster, SMTP Admin, Sr TCP/IP Sys Prog SIUCVMB, SIUCMVSA- Senior RSCS, VTAM, NCP Systems Programmer (mainframe) Systems Admin - Solaris, AIX, FreeBSD, NetBSD LDAP Admin - FreeBSD, NetBSD, Solaris, AIX To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
