Portability hacks + alpha HPUX1020 port

Dec 20, 1999, 10:07 AM

Post #1 of 7 (1894 views)

Hi,

Attached is a patch to 1.2.1pre18 that includes a number of portability
changes, and more a more complete HPUX10.20 implementation. Thanks to
Ben Taylor's utmpx patch, utmpx and wtmpx support are now in for HP,
with a few caveats. It compiles cleanly on HPUX10.20 with gcc, cleanly
on Linux, and with a few minor warnings on Solaris 2.6.

Most compat changes are made via autoconf which should help further
portability a little. However, with OpenBSD, Linux, Solaris and HPUX
running I'm out of other platforms to try right now.

The patch needs to be applied against raw 1.2.1pre18, as it includes
both Ben's patch and the simplest IPV6 change. Changes and TODOs follow.
I look forward to your bitter criticism, or even some constructive
feedback...

Ta,
-Andre Lucas
Instinet Global Services

Changes (mostly HPSUX workarounds :-) )
- Ben Taylor's utmpx patch, with a few hacks for HPUX compat
- Filled out utmp struct as well for above (HP commands still use
utmp...)
- innetgr() protos if required
- #ifdef blocks for innetgr lib function
- *snprintf proto definitions if not present (HP)
- utmpx compatibility hacks
- search for xauth
- check for updwtmpx lib func (HP)
- check for ttcompat.h (HP)
- check environment for mail directory if no maillock.h
- variable for custom rsh path (HP uses remsh)
- include bsd-login.h for systems w/o login lib func
- X11 port forwarding on HPUX
- macro to use setreuid() instead of seteuid(), which HP lacks ***
Someone shout if this has any security implications ! ***
- autoconf config.sub and config.guess (AC_CANONICAL_HOST) added
- various compiler warnings squashed. I hate warnings. Grr.

TODO:
- HP utmp/utmpx support is still broken, ttyslot() seems to return
garbage for ptys... anyone? :-)

Er, that's ' a more complete HPUX10.20 implementation'. Oops.

Hi,

maybe you just forgot the attachement with the patch itself (like I do
with approx half of the attachments I want to send :-)?

Best regards,
Lutz

Nope. You had me shouting "doh" at myself for a few seconds, but it's
definitely there in the post. It wouldn't be the first time I'd
forgotten the attachment, though.

Is anyone else having trouble with the .gz file? Normally I would post
patches as regular text pasted into the mail, but this one is 140KB as
it has some new files and quite a few changes. I don't want to get
flames for sending another huge post today!

Excellent! Unfortunatly I have already merged your peliminary
patch :(

1.2.1pre19 should be released very soon. It includes a somewhat
modified version of your original patch.

I have brought some of the changes you made out to ./configure
directives because they are useful on other platforms. No doubt
I have broken your patch in the process.

Since I am on holidays as of tomorrow afternoon I will have a bit
more time to work on OpenSSH over the coming week (modulo xmas).

Thanks,
Damien Miller

Ok, I look forward to seeing what you've added.

A lot of people are seeing multiple copies of my first post in this
thread. It's a little hard for me to know why it happens - a thousand
people use that mail gateway at Instinet and send attachments all day
long, noone else gets this - but I'll apologise anyway as it's a large
attachment.

Is there any way the list administrator can investigate this please?
It's not just my mail that people are getting more than once (I have two
copies of your response, for example) but mine is the one pissing most
people off, because of its size.

Here's hoping this one doesn't loop. Please, guys: The looping isn't my
fault, don't killfile me just yet...

Ta,
-André

I will be uploading it in a moment.

You can grab it from:

http://violet.ibs.com.au/openssh/files/openssh-1.2.1pre19.tar.gz

Please don't publicise this URL. Despite it being easy to figure
out, I would prefer that general users use a mirror.

I host the list from one of my home machines. Can you send few
examples of the looped email with full headers and I will track it
down.

Anyone have problems?

Thanks,
Damien
