Greetings-- I have been using ssh Version 1.2.26 from slink for a while to connect to my isp, and it has worked just fine for me. My isp us using ssh version 1.2.26a.
Lately, however, I have noticed the following two things happening, and I don't remember them happening before (and I haven't changed, added, or upgraded anything that should cause this...): 1) I get this message: Cannot make temporary authentication socket directory /tmp/ssh-dhugo-25902 even though this directory is created on my local machine during the ssh connection process 2) That directory above does not get deleted on closing the ssh connection. I think this is new behavior, as I have not seen the collectio of /tmp/ssh-dhugo-PID directories growing like it does now everytime I make an ssh connection. Also, I have never known exactly what this is supposed to mean: Agent parent directory is not sticky, mode is 40777 it should be 041777 is this telling me that /usr/bin should have the sticky bit set? The man page doesn't say anything (that I saw) about setting the sticky bit of anything, so I don't want to guess if someone can point me in the right direction. thanks for any input Dan Hugo
