RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description daniel 2016-02-20 07:35:38 UTC
1. Proposed title of this feature request  
  [RFE] remove GLOB_LIMIT_STAT from OpenSSH
  
3. What is the nature and description of the request?  
In OpenSSH we have introduced GLOB_LIMIT_STAT (*glob.patch) which limits the amount of
files shown by wildcard search (like ls *) via sft session to 8192 files (bz 1160377).
Other distributions do not have this limit and it should be removed.
  
4. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here) 
Customer is searching/listing directories with sometimes more than 50k files which is 
much more than the 8192 files limit currently in place and therefore the limit is preventing
customer scripts from working.
  
5. How would the customer like to achieve this? (List the functional requirements here)  
Preferred is that the limit gets completely removed, if not feasible it should be made 
configurable to any value intended.
  
6. For each functional requirement listed, specify how Red Hat and the customer can test to confirm the requirement is successfully implemented.  
Remove the limit and test ls via sftp session on a directory containing 50k+ files. 'ls' should returna complete listing of the directory (not limited output)
  
7. Is there already an existing RFE upstream or in Red Hat Bugzilla?  
Found none, but had bz 1160377 open to raise the limit to 8192
  
8. Does the customer have any specific timeline dependencies and which release would they like to target (i.e. RHEL5, RHEL6)?  
asap
  
9. Is the sales team involved in this request and do they have any additional input?  
no

10. List any affected packages or components. 
 openssh-6.4p1-8.el7.x86_64
openssh-server-6.4p1-8.el7.x86_64
openssh-clients-6.4p1-8.el7.x86_64
libssh2-1.4.3-8.el7.x86_64
  
11. Would the customer be able to assist in testing this functionality if implemented? 
yes

Comment 7 Jakub Jelen 2016-03-31 11:21:14 UTC
Removing RFE tag, since it is more "bugfix" of what was broken in Fedora than RFE.
