Segmentation fault when sshing an hostname with no address associated
Last modified: 2007-04-18 12:49:08 EDT
On RH8, when sshing an hostname with no address associated, I get a : [nim@poseidon nim]$ ssh fr ssh: fr: No address associated with hostname (openssh-3.4p1-2) On Rawhide (same user and nfs-mounted home) : [nim@ulysse nim]$ ssh -v fr OpenSSH_3.5p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090602f debug1: Reading configuration data /home/nim/.ssh/config debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config debug1: Applying options for * debug1: Rhosts Authentication disabled, originating port will not be trusted. debug1: ssh_connect: needpriv 0 Erreur de segmentation (openssh-3.5p1-2) Don't know if it's serious or purely cosmetic, but a core command as ssh should be crashproof IMHO
I can't replicate this error (same version of ssh, more recent versions of many underlying packages like glibc), I get a sane exit without segmentation fault. Is the error occuring? If so, is there more background information you can provide on the system's configuration (changes from default setup in openssh, any libraries not from the current rawhide)?
I can't reproduce it either now. My openssh version didn't change ; however I did a couple of rawhide syncs since the report, so probably the problem was in another rpm that changed since then. I'll close the bug.
