Topic: SSH problem

[pmiranda]

Launching ssh from a panel script to execute a command on a remote system generates the following error message:

Code: [Select]

permanently_set_uid: was able to restore old [e]gid
and the ssh exits without connecting.

This problem arose after the update #3.

I use a custom made userpassword panel to make the users change their passwords both on SME server and on other systems.

The userpassword script connects to the remote systems and forces a password change in different environments using ssh.

It worked fine before the update #3, but now it doesn't work anymore, and I find the error line mentioned above in the httpd/admin_error.log file.

The update #3 installs OpenSSH 3.9p1-1es1; I searched on Internet about this error, and found a thread about this problem, an explanation and a proposed patch to solve it.

I just filed a bug report about it...
