Description of problem: SSH logs "Postponed publickey for root from..." but timezone information present in chroot. Different problem? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RHEL 4.4, openssh-server 3.9.p1, 8.RHEL4.15 How reproducible: Has occured on a i686 and x86_64. Upgraded to Steps to Reproduce: 1. Login with public key 2. grep "Postponed" /var/log/secure 3. Actual results: sshd logs "Postponed publickey for root from...." in /var/log/secure. Expected results: No Postponed message. Additional info: Similar to #193184, but applied localtime to /var/empty/sshd/etc/localtime. Still getting message. Strace -s 512 -f on root sshd gives me: [pid 16309] open("/usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Vancouver", O_RDONLY) = 7 [pid 16309] fstat(7, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=1037, ...}) = 0 [pid 16309] fstat(7, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=1037, ...}) = 0 [pid 16309] mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x2a9557c000 [pid 16309] read(7, "TZif\0\0\0\ <SNIP> ...25IT \02697\20\27)6 \30\"S"..., 4096) = 1037 [pid 16309] close(7) = 0 [pid 16309] munmap(0x2a9557c000, 4096) = 0 [pid 16309] sendto(6, "<86>Sep 6 13:50:01 sshd[16309]: Postponed publickey for root from ::ffff:192.168.0.12 port 38488 ssh2", 102, MSG_NOSIGNAL, NULL, 0) = 102
The timezone information only changes the timestamp on the new messages, it doesn't remove any messages from being logged into syslog. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 203671 ***
