Re: Re: sshd problem with recent snapshots


Were you able to reproduce this on Windows 7? When will this fix be released in the regular distro?

Thanks,

- Jeff

Hmm.  Except, maybe, since you seem to be set up to build Cygwin from
CVS, could you start building the 09-12 version from CVS and then just
add one change from CVS at a time using

cvs up -D 'yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM'

as filter until you encounter the problem?  An interesting situation to
test would be, if you have the state after this change:

2010-09-12 Corinna Vinschen<...>

      * sec_acl.cc (acl_worker): Remove.
      (acl32): Implement acl_worker functionality here.
      (lacl32): Just return -1 with errno set to ENOSYS.
      (lacl): Ditto.
      * include/cygwin/acl.h (lacl): Remove this call.

and then just add this single change from the first 2010-09-13 checkin:

* fhandler_tty.cc (fhandler_tty_slave::init): Use tty::setpgid method.

It's fine through the fhandler_tty.cc change, and then the problem occurs as soon as I add the rest of the 2010-09-13 11:17:36 checkin.

FWIW, I've finally unravelled the problems on my system that stopped me from logging in via ssh (I needed to revert to a backup of my security settings from 9/2009). I can't even login at all using the 9/17 snapshot although I can run commands like 'ssh localhost "/bin/ls"'.

I'm somewhat distracted right now but I'll do some more digging as time
permits.

Additionally I'll set up a new XP SP3 system for testing. Maybe I can finally reproduce this as well...

Success. I can reproduce the issue. I also could reproduce it now on my other XP SP3 system. It turned out that it depends on the account under which the sshd service is started. Originally I started sshd under my cyg_server account, just like on any other system. I changed that back to the default(*) SYSTEM account and, voila, suddenly I get the `permission denied' problem. I still have to debug it, though.

I think I found the bug. At least it works now for me. Please test current CVS, or the next developers snapshot.


Thanks, Corinna
