Install ssh 3.1.0 on a 64bit 11.0

[mckiers]

I am having a problem trying to compile ssh
it finds that it is a hppa2 machine and that it is 64bit. I am using the HP ansi C complier, I get a look of warnings but no out right errors. So when the binaries are compiled I it looks okay, until I run the sshd2 binary. What I get is a verbose output which just keeps in the foreground and doesn't run in the background. Has anyone run into this problem?

Hi,

Would you mind posting up the error message when you execute sshd?

I hope this will shed some light on the problem, it looks
like I have complie issues in the loop program.

Hi,

I suspect that you ran sshd with the debug mode on.

Below should be sufficient:

# /usr/local/sbin/sshd

Did you perhaps run it with the -d option with is the debug mode?

Hope this helps. Regards.

No I didn't run it in debug mode even though the output looks like debug, it maybe that the default is verbose or not "-d 2" as the README says. But I started the program as you have suggested and got the output which was posted above.

Hi,

Check wheter your /etc/ssh2/sshd2_config (or equivalent) has VerboseMode set to yes. If it has been set to yes, the symptoms of your problem will occur. Set to no to resolve this.

Extracted for your convenience:
=========================================
Verbose mode. Causes sshd2 to print debugging messages about its progress. This is helpful in debugging connection, authentication, and configuration problems. Also causes sshd2 to not fork on connection, so only one connection is handled.
=========================================

Hope this helps. Regards.

Definately looks like it's running in debug mode. Two ideas -- if debug isn't specified in the config file, then I maybe you should specifically force the logging level to some lower level.

#/usr/local/sbin/sshd2 -q

((turn off logging))

Could you have accidently compiled it with debugging forced to on?
