Description Ron Chen 2005-08-17 11:18:12 AEST

GridEngine (SGE) is an opensource batch system used in parallel clusters (Linux
clusters, beowulf, compute farms, and Grid). When interactive users need
machines in the cluster, they need to go through SGE. SGE starts the rsh/rshd
pair so that users process will be tracked. Note that the rsh daemon is not a
vanilla rshd, the one shipped with SGE has hooks allow process relationships.

Then users only want to use SSH, and the following HOWTO was written:
http://gridengine.sunsource.net/howto/qrsh_qlogin_ssh.html

However, in order to get a fully functional SGE-SSH integration, some hooks
needs to be added in sshd (specifically: sshd.c).

The code implementing this function appears to be missing.  Or is it supplied
by a library (and if so, which one)?

Created attachment 950 [details]
Diff against sshd.c, -DSGESSH_INTEGRATION to enable this integration

attached unified diff, and made the function declaration inside the file.

Our build process will call OpenSSH's configure with:
% ./configure --with-libs="-L<path> -lsgessh <other SGE libs>"

The file that has sgessh_readconfig() and sgessh_do_setusercontext()
implemented was post on the SGE mailing list. There's the pointer to the
message:

We don't plan to integrate this.
