The following reply was made to PR misc/41328; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Stephen Cravey <cravey@gotbrains.org> To: "Andrey A. Chernov" <ache@nagual.pp.ru> Cc: <FreeBSD-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.ORG> Subject: Re: misc/41328: ssh logins in 4.6.1 no longer give incoming mail status Date: Mon, 5 Aug 2002 23:42:33 -0500 (CDT) As a (temporary?) workaround, I've turned your patch into a standalone program that can be run on login. (I'm lazy.) This can be run from the .login (t/csh users) or some other way for other shells. Yes there's a compiler warning. If someone would like to fix it, I suppose they should feel free. Otherwise it works fine. I don't want to get deeplyinto the politics of this, but at a minimum, this change (and/or official position why it won't be fixed) should probably be reflected in the next release notes for freebsd in the openssh section. I realize we haven't really had release notes for 4.6.x yet. Compilation and installation is left as an exercise for the reader. -Stephen #include <stdio.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/stat.h> int main(void) { char *mailbox; struct stat mailstat; mailbox = getenv("MAIL"); if (mailbox != NULL) { if (stat(mailbox, &mailstat) != 0 || mailstat.st_size == 0); else if (mailstat.st_mtime < mailstat.st_atime) printf("You have mail.\n"); else printf("You have new mail.\n"); } } To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
