Package: base-files Version: 5.1 Severity: normal Steps to reproduce: 1) apt-get install dropbear 2) sudo dropbear -d /etc/dropbear/dropbear_dss_host_key -r /etc/dropbear/dropbear_rsa_host_key -p 622 -W 65536 -P dropbear.pid -F -E 3) ssh localhost -p 622 -l root 'echo $PATH'
Expected results: 3) root's PATH includes /sbin Actual results: 3) root's PATH is just "/usr/bin:/bin" More info: 1) strace shows that dropbear SSH server does not execve() login at all. Thus login.defs does not get read. 2) If you feel like this is an error in dropbear, please reassign. I reported this against base-files since its change triggered this and I am not sure if SSH servers are supposed to invoke login or not. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: armel (armv4tl) Kernel: Linux 2.6.29-GTA02_lindi2-andy-tracking-mokodev Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=fi_FI (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages base-files depends on: ii base-passwd 3.5.22 Debian base system master password ii mawk [awk] 1.3.3-15 a pattern scanning and text proces base-files recommends no packages. base-files suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
