Issue with logging in after installing T1471AA Secure Shell

Jonathan Grymes — Sun, 12 Oct 2008 22:42:06 GMT

Systme is HP-UX11.23 (Itanium). After installing A.05.10.007 users were unable to login via ssh (access denied). Install instructions say no patches needed for HPUX 11.23.

Any ideas?

Show actual commands with actual output?

Add "-v" to an "ssh" command?

The issue: Secure Shell upgrade is now running in 64 bit and previously it was running in 32 bit mode.
Before:
# file /usr/sbin/sshd
/usr/sbin/sshd: ELF-32 executable object file - IA64

After:
# file /usr/sbin/sshd
/usr/sbin/sshd: ELF-64 executable object file - IA64

Is there a way to make sshd run in 32 bit mode.

Why do you believe that that's a problem?

Don't 64-bit programs run correctly on your
system?

on the server, login in (telnet, console or whatever) and start the sshd daemon at the command line with the debug option, i.e.

/usr/local/bin/sshd -D

then try and connect from a client with

sshd -vvv

and see what goes on.

did the config files change locations between versions? if so, you might have port issues if you don't use the standard location. If they didn't move, are they still present?

I don't believe this is an issue with "bitness", but with the configuration(s).

Only by recompiling the application or using the older version. But as Steven said, your 64 bit version should produce the same results as the 32 bit version.

But all said, I have no idea why there is a 64 bit version of sshd, other than it is there or any shlibs it uses are 64 bit.
