Hi Garry,
I thought it was fine, but I just got a report of more trouble with
it. I'm not sure whether or how this relates to the earlier
permissions problem.
The message from Miles Shuman (see below) came in to me at 8:52 pm,
last night, and it seems that it might be some type of SSH glitch.
The version of SSH that athena seems to run is:
weepecket.mit.edu# type ssh ; ssh -V
ssh is /usr/athena/bin/ssh
SSH Version 1.2.26 [sparc-sun-solaris2.7], protocol version 1.5.
Standard version. Does not use RSAREF.
The non-Kerberized versions of this code and protocol are recently
known to have some security problems.
I'll add zacheiss to /etc/athena/access for weepecket right after it
gets its next DCM update (a bit after 1). Let me know if you need
longer access as a user or any access as root.
Thanks,
--Tom
