I think I've found a few bugs in the NSS code for FreeBSD 5.1 . I'm not sure of the best way to split them up, so I'll list them all here.
FreeBSD version: % uname -a FreeBSD myrtle 5.1-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.1-CURRENT #1: Mon Aug 11 17:15:47 EDT 2003 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/private/freebsd-src/obj/private/freebsd-src/src/sys/CISEKERN i386 1) getnetgrent still seems to ignore the NIS netgroup maps and only uses /etc/netgroup. A '+' as the only entry in /etc/netgroup does not force an NIS netgroup map lookup. This bug has been reported in the 4.x tree as well. 2) There's an odd bug in sshd/nss when the following are configured: - nsswitch.conf passwd: compat - sshd_config ChallengeResponseAuthentication yes (default) HostbasedAuthentication yes When /etc/netgroup doesn't exist, the sshd hangs when logging in with HostbasedAuthentication: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> # gdb /usr/sbin/sshd GNU gdb 5.2.1 (FreeBSD) (gdb) run -d -p 987 [ some debugging output deleted for readability] debug1: KEX done debug1: userauth-request for user jfh service ssh-connection method none debug1: attempt 0 failures 0 debug1: PAM: initializing for "jfh" debug1: PAM: setting PAM_RHOST to "waterspout.cise.ufl.edu" Failed none for jfh from 128.227.205.52 port 47962 ssh2 Failed none for jfh from 128.227.205.52 port 47962 ssh2 debug1: userauth-request for user jfh service ssh-connection method hostbased debug1: attempt 1 failures 1 debug1: userauth_hostbased: cuser jfh chost waterspout.cise.ufl.edu. pkalg ssh-dss slen 55 Failed hostbased for jfh from 128.227.205.52 port 47962 ssh2 debug1: userauth-request for user jfh service ssh-connection method hostbased debug1: attempt 2 failures 2 debug1: userauth_hostbased: cuser jfh chost waterspout.cise.ufl.edu. pkalg ssh-rsa slen 143 Failed hostbased for jfh from 128.227.205.52 port 47962 ssh2 debug1: userauth-request for user jfh service ssh-connection method keyboard-interactive debug1: attempt 3 failures 3 debug1: keyboard-interactive devs debug1: auth2_challenge: user=jfh devs= debug1: kbdint_alloc: devices 'pam' debug1: auth2_challenge_start: trying authentication method 'pam' ^C Program received signal SIGINT, Interrupt. 0x282e987f in read () at {standard input}:15 15 {standard input}: No such file or directory. in {standard input} Current language: auto; currently asm (gdb) Quit (gdb) where #0 0x282e987f in read () at {standard input}:15 #1 0x281409ab in atomicio (f=0x5, fd=-1077940208, _s=0xbfbff038, n=674583073) at /private/freebsd-src/src/crypto/openssh/atomicio.c:45 #2 0x281286a9 in ssh_msg_recv (fd=5, m=0xbfbff010) at /private/freebsd-src/src/crypto/openssh/msg.c:58 #3 0x08062bb5 in pam_query (ctx=0x807a870, name=0x7, info=0x7, num=0xbfbff064, prompts=0xbfbff068, echo_on=0xbfbff06c) at /private/freebsd-src/src/crypto/openssh/auth2-pam-freebsd.c:397 #4 0x0805ef2a in mm_answer_pam_query (socket=3, m=0xbfbff0a0) at /private/freebsd-src/src/crypto/openssh/monitor.c:799 #5 0x0805e51a in monitor_read (pmonitor=0x8075580, ent=0x8070320, pent=0xbfbff0ec) at /private/freebsd-src/src/crypto/openssh/monitor.c:388 #6 0x0805e208 in monitor_child_preauth (pmonitor=0x8075580) at /private/freebsd-src/src/crypto/openssh/monitor.c:301 #7 0x0804ed1f in privsep_preauth () at /private/freebsd-src/src/crypto/openssh/sshd.c:605 #8 0x0805087a in main (ac=47962, av=0x807a7b0) at /private/freebsd-src/src/crypto/openssh/sshd.c:1523 #9 0x0804e1a2 in _start (ap=0xbfbffb24 "/usr/sbin/sshd") at /private/freebsd-src/src/lib/csu/i386-elf/crt1.c:104 With either ChallengeResponseAuthentication or HostbasedAuthentication disabled, I'm prompted for a password.
