Greetings,
1. Acknowledgements: My thanks to Weitse Venema, the tcp_wrappers
author, for his solution, and to Sami Lehtinen for his interest and
adviceB.
2. OS/Software/Configuration: Solaris 2.5, ssh2.0.12, tcp_wrappers 7.5 -
ssh compiled with --with_libwrap option and running in inetd mode for
tcp_wrappers.
3. Original Problem: ssh would hang on logout from remote host. Ctrl-D
necessary to disconnect.
4. Solution: Though it was not evident to me in any installation
documentation, if you want to run ssh in inetd mode with tcp_wrappers
compatibility, you must compile ssh without enabling --with-libwrap=PATH
option, then setup the inetd.conf and services files to go through
tcp_wrappers. After recompiling without libwrap, ssh hangs no more on
logout :-]. Now, if you want to run ssh standalone (i.e. not in inetd
mode), and also want tcp_wrappers compatibility, then you DO compile ssh
using the --with-libwrap switch.
The docs I read did not mention this requirement, and I'm not sure if this
is specific to Solaris 2.5 or more general instructions. I hope this
helps others.
Regards,
Chris
