Category: Candidate Group: Future Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Jeremy Enos (jenos) Assigned to: Neil Gorsuch (ngorsuch) Summary: ssh should be a package Initial Comment: ssh needs to be a package, like everything else. If c3 can be a package, so can ssh. It would allow for other ssh packages to exist later, like gsi, kerberos, commercial, etc. I can't think of a reason that this cannot or should not happen, but plenty of reasons that it should. Before anyone says it, no, I'm not talking about shipping an ssh. But it should have rpmlists and API scripts like everything else. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Jeremy Enos (jenos) Date: 2004-03-01 11:39 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=270124 That's correct Dave. Use the package infrastructure to get ssh installed. The fact that it's not a core package right now is just a relic of OSCAR's first days. ssh was needed before "core packages" even existed, and also before most of the package infrastructure even existed. Looking at what we have now, having ssh hardcoded would be as silly as having C3 hard coded. (ignoring our other mistake of not abstracting it's usage, but that's a separate problem) This would allow use of configurator to get some config customization options available. It would be a core package, so there would be no need to worry that it wouldn't be there. Having it modularized would also allow for custom substitution of the package if needed... as many institutions have their own custom version of ssh. It might be kerberos, it might be gsi enabled for grid functionality, etc. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: David N. Lombard (dnl) Date: 2004-02-24 13:21 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=27334 Just to clarify, you're not asking for an OSCAR-specific ssh RPM (or other package), but an OSCAR package to perform various setup tasks to be done. Correct? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jason Brechin (brechin) Date: 2004-02-24 13:00 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=274641 The biggest problem with this is in tools that are built to use ssh specifically. Can we add an ssh daemon without disrupting openssh? Would that even solve the problem? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=359368&aid=587898&group_id=9368 ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.
