Hi Jordan, This is actually a bug in Snow Leopard - when the sshd that mosh uses to authenticate exits, launchd cleans up the Mach context and the mosh-server no longer has the ability to talk to lookupd/mDNSResponder for user information.
We're tracking this at https://github.com/keithw/mosh/issues/249 As a very kludgey workaround, you can try using mosh --server="mosh-server; sleep 2" foo which will add a delay to hopefully avoid the race :/ --Quentin On Tue, 20 Nov 2012, Jordan wrote: > I've successfully installed Mosh onto my older Mac running Snow Leopard > Server (10.6.8). > > The challenge that I am having is that once I am connected it looks like the > Mosh server (or connection) is not properly accessing OSX's OpenDirectory. > > Under SSH: > jordan$ whoami > jordan > $ su - admin > Password: > > > Under Mosh: > $ whoami > 512 > $ su admin > su: who are you? > > > Anyone have any clues if this is an environment configuration thing I might > be able to work around on the server? > > Thanks, > ..Jordan > > _______________________________________________ mosh-users mailing list mosh-users@mit.edu http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/mosh-users
