I do not know if these are critical or not, but I want to pass them along. I am on a Sun blade 150 running Solaris 9 with just about all packages installed and current with patches. This is with the ./configure for OpenSsh version 3.9p1. I run ./configure with the options --with-tcp-wrappers --with-pid-dir=/var/run --with-mantype=cat --sysconfdir=/etc --with-ssl-dir=/usr/local/ssl. (ssl is OpenSSL 0.9.7d). configure has the warning in the middle configure: WARNING: sys/ptms.h: present but cannot be compiled configure: WARNING: sys/ptms.h: check for missing prerequisite headers? configure: WARNING: sys/ptms.h: see the Autoconf documentation configure: WARNING: sys/ptms.h: section "Present But Cannot Be Compiled" configure: WARNING: sys/ptms.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result configure: WARNING: sys/ptms.h: in the future, the compiler will take precedenceconfigure: WARNING: ## ------------------------------------------ ## configure: WARNING: ## Report this to the AC_PACKAGE_NAME lists. ## configure: WARNING: ## ------------------------------------------ ## final summary of the configuration says WARNING: the operating system that you are using does not appear to support either the getpeereid() API nor the SO_PEERCRED getsockopt() option. These facilities are used to enforce security checks to prevent unauthorised connections to ssh-agent. Their absence increases the risk that a malicious user can connect to your agent.
Thanks, they're both warnings. The first has already been fixed (after the 3.9p1 release). The second is a warning about the platform's lack of any way to determine the effective uid of the process connecting to ssh-agent's socket. This has always been the case, but the warning is new. (If anyone knows a way implement getpeereid() on Solaris, please let us know).
Change all RESOLVED bug to CLOSED with the exception of the ones fixed post-4.4.
