I’m still trying to port ssh-1.2.27 to QNX4. The very helpfull instruction is here. If I overcome the perills - I’ll try to port ssh-1.2.33 (the latest before the deprecation of ssh v1.x) basing on the experience gained on the way.
Everything goes well untill it starts linking the sshd (ssh builds and even works!) - and then it stops with the “Symbol undefined getspnam_()” error.
The referenced symbol is a password management command, seems to be in crypt.lib or whereever. Please help to find it.
The trailing _ seems suspicious. Take a look at where in the source this is referenced and check if it says getspnam() or getspnam_()? It may just be the naming convertion used by watcom’s linker, but usually the linker spits out errors in a form which matches the C name.
It was getspnam_() indeed.
To solve the riddle it took to compile this example and then link the resulting pw.a as a library to the list of used libraries: -lpw.
Now I started porting ssh-1.2.33 while updating zlib v1.0.3 used there to v1.2.1 - it did easily fit into ssh-1.2.27 already.
I could not locate them in form of *.lib files|archives…
There are three .tgz named crypt, but I could not figure out how to use them to do the job at first.
OK, using the same instructions it is quite easy to build ssh-1.2.33.
I did it.
The only glitch found so far is that when I logout - the shell on the remote side quits but ssh does not. One can see the ESTABLISHED tcp/ip session between the hosts. (Note: I test it connecting to localhost yet)
The ssh-1.2.27 does not have this misbehaviour, but I see “Exited on signal -1” every time I logout. Is it normal?
hmm, I thought the “logout hang” problem only exists in the openssh. sounds like ssh-1.2.27 “borrowed” some codes from openssh, including this “bug”
You may want to try the “fix” for openssh, check the openqnx project site at sourceforge.
Yes, I’ll do!
Examining the syslog I’ve found lots of “Error: Failed to disconnect from controlling tty.”
Those were ssh-1.2.26, ssh-1.2.27 and ssh-1.2.33 sshdrecords.
But only sshd v1.2.33 does not go down on logout from the shell…
