Hi all
I am having two small problems with ssh2.3.0 running on a DEC4100 with 4.0f.
1) we are currently running tcp wrappers 7.6 and would like to get ssh to
run properly with the hosts.allow and hosts.deny, but it does not seem to
want to cooperate. I did use the --with-libwrap option when i installed it
and the libwrap.a and tcpd.h required files were present in the two include
dirs. I also tried explicity pointing the path to where the two files were.
SSH works fine and tcpwrappers works fine, but ssh does not work with the
hosts.allow or hosts.deny file at all. It is as if they were not there.
2) the second problem is somewhat different. Currently i am running a small
script in crontab that copies a file from one machine to another using scp.
i do have the .shosts file in place and it is working. the script seems to
work flawlessly when it it run from the command line. The problem is that
when cron tries to run it it gives the following error:
Executing ssh2 failed. Command:' ssh2 -l testact -x -a -o passwordprompt
%U_at_%H's password: -o nodelay yes -o authenticationnotify yes
machine.du.edu -s sftp' System error message: 'No such file or directory'
scp: warning: child process (ssh2) exited with code 255.
You have no controlling terminal.Can't initialize readline for
confirmations.
Couldn't exec 'ssh-signer2' (System error message: No such file or
directory)FATAL: Executing ssh-signer failed.
You have no controlling tty and no DISPLAY. Cannot read passphrase.
warning: Authentication failed.
Disconnected; authentication cancelled by user (Authentication cancelled by
user.).
any help you can give would be greatly appreciated
thanks
