Hello all,
after a fresh build of -current openssh does not work if connecting to the
root-user. For example (tested from a -stable machine, but the same from
4.1-RELEASE):
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ ssh <host> -l root
Last login: Fri Sep 15 16:22:48 2000 from xxxx

Welcome to FreeBSD!
sshd in realloc(): error: junk pointer, too high to make sense.
Connection to zzzz closed.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(This implies that "PermitRootLogin" is set to yes in /etc/ssh/sshd_config)
The only soultion is to have "UseLogin" set to yes. But nevertheless scp
does never work if copying to the root account like this:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ scp <file> root@<host>:.
select: Bad file descriptor
lost connection
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The strange: both commands succeed if connecting to a non-root account.
Are there any others with these problems? Any clues?
Best regards.
