Hi,
I discovered a couple of bash-isms in the lsh-authorize script.
lsh-authorize uses &> redirects which aren't supported in the POSIX
standard, AFAICT (ash doesn't support these redirects). The correct way
to do it is to use >/dev/null 2>&1 redirects. I also noticed the FIXME
comments in 1.3.7:
# FIXME: This test seems to not work properly with Solaris' /bin/sh.
Maybe the redirects are the cause of this problem on Solaris? I'd guess
that's the case, since Solaris /bin/sh seems to be pretty picky about
stuff like that. I haven't tested though ... (I can test on my Uni
boxes at some stage though ...)
A patch is attached against 1.2.5.
Cheers,
Timshel
