/usr/local/bin hardcoded into path in sshd
Last modified: 2012-08-07 14:04:31 EDT
Description of problem: sshd has a hardcoded PATH environment set as : /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin The problem is if /usr/local is NFS mounted and, for some unrelated reason, the NFS mount is unavailable, logins via ssh hang. You can CTRL-C twice to get out of the hang, but this is sub-optimal and complicates debugging. Since the PATH is set for logins in /etc/profile anyway, I don't see any valid reason for sshd to have /usr/local in its default PATH and it does cause the above problem, among others. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openssh-5.6p1-31.fc15.1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Mount /usr/local via NFS 2. Stop NFS server 3. Try to ssh into machine Actual results: SSH connection succeeds but you never get a shell prompt Expected results: Successfull SSH connection with shell prompt Additional info:
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
