Package: libssl0.9.8 Version: 0.9.8b-1 I've got a SparcStation 20 with two cacheless CPUs. I can't make ssh connections with newer libssl0.9.8 versions than 0.9.8a-8. The problem appeared with the first 0.9.8b release and the newest version I've tried is 0.9.8c-3, where it still fails. Also sshd seems to suffer from this same problem.
I've tried connecting against more than one type of UNIXen, sshd implementations, endianness platforms, etc. The result is pretty much the same, so the problem can't be with the other boxes. I've also got several SparcStation 5's running Debian/unstable and so far I haven't noticed any problems with them. Is there some new hand optimized assembler code for sparcs in libssl these days? If not, then I suspect that the problem is with the gcc version used to compile the official packages these days. I haven't got the resources to try out different compiler versions though. <opinion type="personal">gcc 2.95 is a lot more reliable on sparcs.</opinion> Here are some cut'n'pastes that I hope will be helpful: my-ss20% cat /proc/cpuinfo cpu : Texas Instruments, Inc. - SuperSparc-(II) fpu : SuperSparc on-chip FPU promlib : Version 3 Revision 2 prom : 2.15 type : sun4m ncpus probed : 2 ncpus active : 2 Cpu0Bogo : 49.86 Cpu1Bogo : 49.97 MMU type : TI Viking contexts : 65536 nocache total : 2097152 nocache used : 469504 CPU0 : online CPU1 : online my-ss20% ssh -vvv somehost <...> debug1: Enabling compatibility mode for protocol 2.0 debug1: Local version string SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_4.3p2 Debian-5 debug2: fd 3 setting O_NONBLOCK debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT sent debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT received debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1,diffie-hellman-gro up14-sha1,diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: ssh-dss,ssh-rsa debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: blowfish-cbc,aes128-cbc,aes192-cbc,arcfour,3des-cbc,a es256-cbc debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: blowfish-cbc,aes128-cbc,aes192-cbc,arcfour,3des-cbc,a es256-cbc debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: hmac-md5,hmac-sha1,hmac-ripemd160,[EMAIL PROTECTED] ssh.com,hmac-sha1-96,hmac-md5-96 debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: hmac-md5,hmac-sha1,hmac-ripemd160,[EMAIL PROTECTED] ssh.com,hmac-sha1-96,hmac-md5-96 debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: none,[EMAIL PROTECTED],zlib debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: none,[EMAIL PROTECTED],zlib debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: first_kex_follows 0 debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: reserved 0 debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1,diffie-hellman-gro up1-sha1 debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: ssh-rsa,ssh-dss debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: aes128-cbc,3des-cbc,blowfish-cbc,cast128-cbc,arcfour, aes192-cbc,aes256-cbc,[EMAIL PROTECTED],aes128-ctr,aes192-ctr,aes256-c tr debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: aes128-cbc,3des-cbc,blowfish-cbc,cast128-cbc,arcfour, aes192-cbc,aes256-cbc,[EMAIL PROTECTED],aes128-ctr,aes192-ctr,aes256-c tr debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: hmac-md5,hmac-sha1,hmac-ripemd160,[EMAIL PROTECTED] ssh.com,hmac-sha1-96,hmac-md5-96 debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: hmac-md5,hmac-sha1,hmac-ripemd160,[EMAIL PROTECTED] ssh.com,hmac-sha1-96,hmac-md5-96 debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: none,zlib debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: none,zlib debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: first_kex_follows 0 debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: reserved 0 debug2: mac_init: found hmac-md5 debug1: kex: server->client blowfish-cbc hmac-md5 none debug2: mac_init: found hmac-md5 debug1: kex: client->server blowfish-cbc hmac-md5 none debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REQUEST(1024<1024<8192) sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_GROUP debug2: dh_gen_key: priv key bits set: 119/256 debug2: bits set: 501/1026 debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_INIT sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REPLY debug3: check_host_in_hostfile: filename /home/mydir/.ssh/known_hosts2 debug3: key_read: type mismatch debug3: check_host_in_hostfile: filename /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts2 debug3: check_host_in_hostfile: filename /home/mydir/.ssh/known_hosts2 debug3: check_host_in_hostfile: filename /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts2 debug3: check_host_in_hostfile: filename /home/mydir/.ssh/known_hosts debug3: check_host_in_hostfile: match line 28 debug3: check_host_in_hostfile: filename /home/mydir/.ssh/known_hosts debug3: check_host_in_hostfile: match line 28 debug1: Host 'somehost' is known and matches the DSA host key. debug1: Found key in /home/mydir/.ssh/known_hosts:28 debug2: bits set: 533/1026 debug1: ssh_dss_verify: signature incorrect key_verify failed for server_host_key my-ss20% After trying to connect from some other machine to my-ss20: my-ss20% tail -2 /var/log/auth.log Oct 19 17:44:09 my-ss20 sshd[1258]: error: bad sig size 108 61 Oct 19 17:44:09 my-ss20 sshd[1258]: fatal: mm_answer_sign: key_sign failed my-ss20% -- Aleksi Suhonen () ascii ribbon campaign /\ support plain text e-mail -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
