Summary: Error on MAKE while compiling SRPMS and tar.gz but not
while installing RPMS
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: 3.7.1p2
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: critical
Priority: P2
Component: ssh
AssignedTo: openssh-bugs@mindrot.org
ReportedBy: praveenmm@hotmail.com


I am running Red Hat Linux release 7.2 (Enigma) with custom kernel version:
2.4.21 and openSSH version: 3.7.1p2-1.

When I install openSSH version (any) RPM it gets installed after resolving
dependencies but it fails at MAKE when I try to install using tar.gz or source
RPMS. The error displayed is:

> ./configure: uniq: command not found

This is probably the cause. On my FC3 box, uniq is provided by the "coreutils"
package, try installing it for your box and retesting.

Created an attachment (id=856)
--> (http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/attachment.cgi?id=856&action=view)
Add coreutils to BuildPreReq

If I rename /usr/bin/uniq I get the same errors as you report, so I'm almost
certain that's the source of your problem.

This patch adds coreutils as a build prereq which will catch this.

A build problem in a contrib file does not warrant "critical" severity.

Please try the attached patch and see if it complains about coreutils being
missing. (I can't remove it to test on my box because many things depend on it).

(From update of attachment 856)
I've just looked at what's actually *in* coreutils (ls, rm, mv and many other
things that are likely to be missed) so I find it difficult to believe that
it's not installed.

>+BuildPreReq: perl, openssl-devel, tcp_wrappers, coreutils

Perhaps uniq is provided be some other RPM on your platform, in which case the
BuildPreReq should be "/usr/bin/uniq".

Try giving patch the "-p0" option.

OK, please try editting the spec file and changing this line:
BuildPreReq: perl, openssl-devel, tcp_wrappers, coreutils

to

BuildPreReq: perl, openssl-devel, tcp_wrappers, /usr/bin/uniq

then retest.

I don't know why the buildprereq doesn't work. My only guess is that uniq is in
the rpm database but has been deleted from /usr/bin.

Does /usr/bin/uniq exist? Does rpm know about it ("rpm -qfi /usr/bin/uniq")?

> /usr/bin/uniq does not exist.

Well, that's the source of your problem. It may be in some other RPM on your
version of redhat (maybe fileutils?), I suggest you find it and install it.

I don't understand why the /usr/bin/uniq BuildPreReq doesn't cause it to
complain, though.

Thanks, Darren. With TextUtils was able to execute MAKE.

On MAKE INSTALL, I get this below message on permissions. I stopped the SSHD

That looks badly wrong (and very suspect). sshd should not be setuid (or setgid).

> /usr/bin/install -c -m 0755 -s sshd /usr/local/sbin/sshd
> /usr/bin/install: cannot remove `/usr/local/sbin/sshd': Operation not permitted

Assuming that's running as root, maybe it's flagged immutable? Try "lsattr sshd".

Yep, that's it (AFAIK there's no good reason for doing this and I would consider
it pretty suspicious).

From the chattr(1) man page:

A file with the 'a' attribute set can only be open in append mode for
writing. Only the superuser or a process possessing the
CAP_LINUX_IMMUTABLE capability can set or clear this attribute.

So you need to "chattr -ua sshd". Anyway, this is a local configuration problem
not an OpenSSH problem so please close this bug.
