Package: ssh Version: 1:3.8.1p1-8.sarge.4 Severity: important
When specifying a socket to use on the command line of ssh-agent, if that socket is already in use, that is reported as an error and subsequently, just before quitting, it is changed to not being in use anymore (that is, it's unlinked): | bind(3, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path="blah"}, 110) = -1 EADDRINUSE (Address already in use) | dup(2) = 4 | fcntl64(4, F_GETFL) = 0x8002 (flags O_RDWR|O_LARGEFILE) | fstat64(4, {st_mode=S_IFCHR|0600, st_rdev=makedev(4, 7), ...}) = 0 | ioctl(4, SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE or TCGETS, {B38400 opost isig icanon echo ...}) = 0 | old_mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x40018000 | _llseek(4, 0, 0xbffffa00, SEEK_CUR) = -1 ESPIPE (Illegal seek) | write(4, "bind: Address already in use\n", 29bind: Address already in use | ) = 29 | close(4) = 0 | munmap(0x40018000, 4096) = 0 | unlink("blah") = 0 | exit_group(1) = ? Either it should be unlinked and then recreated, or it should be left alone (I'd prefer the latter, to facilitate an easy "one agent for all sessions"-setup), but as it's now, it certainly is a pretty silly behaviour. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.31 Locale: LANG=C, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages ssh depends on: ii adduser 3.63 Add and remove users and groups ii debconf 1.4.30.13 Debian configuration management sy ii dpkg 1.10.28 Package maintenance system for Deb ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libpam-modules 0.76-22 Pluggable Authentication Modules f ii libpam-runtime 0.76-22 Runtime support for the PAM librar ii libpam0g 0.76-22 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libssl0.9.7 0.9.7e-3 SSL shared libraries ii libwrap0 7.6.dbs-8 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra ii zlib1g 1:1.2.2-4 compression library - runtime -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
