Description William F. Acker 2000-10-08 05:50:05 UTC

When l"ls -l" is entered while connect to a remote site, the file size shown is always zero.  Also, when trying to retrieve a file that also exists on the local machine, remote file size unknown is reported.

Comment 1 Daniel Roesen 2000-10-08 20:36:13 UTC

Can't reproduce this here.

Comment 2 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer 2000-10-09 09:59:02 UTC

I can't reproduce it either - it's probably a problem on the server side.
Which server are you trying to access?

Comment 3 William F. Acker 2000-10-11 00:01:20 UTC

Turns out to be an interaction with libsafe installed from the 7.0 PowerTools.  I have no idea which application has the bug.  Removing Libsafe fixed the problem for me.

Comment 4 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer 2000-10-12 13:01:52 UTC

Reassigning to libsafe

Comment 5 Tim Powers 2000-10-15 23:27:23 UTC

In order to try and see if this is in fact a libsafe issue, I need to know how
you have it configured. I can't seem to reproduce it here with either having an
entry in ld.so.preload or just by setting $LD_PRELOAD. Perhaps some more info on
the type of connection to a remote site and which application you are using
would help. So far I have tried using ncftp to ftp.ibiblio.org using ncftp, and
also nfs mounted dirs and can't reproduce the file size problem.

One more thing, the system I am tesing on has all the current updates using
up2date. Have you made sure that you have all the relevant updates for your
system?

I am closing this to not a bug since there hasn't been any response to my last
mail two weeks ago. Please reopen it if you are still having problems and
provide more info.
