pieter-local@test-02:~$ grep "please fix the application" /var/log/syslog |grep sshd Nov 30 12:19:21 test-02 sshd[1226]: Libgcrypt warning: missing initialization - please fix the application Nov 30 12:20:06 test-02 sshd[1293]: Libgcrypt warning: missing initialization - please fix the application Nov 30 12:24:27 test-02 sshd[1089]: Libgcrypt warning: missing initialization - please fix the application Nov 30 12:40:34 test-02 sshd[1257]: Libgcrypt warning: missing initialization - please fix the application Nov 30 12:40:58 test-02 sshd[1324]: Libgcrypt warning: missing initialization - please fix the application Nov 30 12:41:36 test-02 sshd[1403]: Libgcrypt warning: missing initialization - please fix the application Nov 30 13:16:30 test-02 sshd[1095]: Libgcrypt warning: missing initialization - please fix the application Nov 30 13:16:46 test-02 sshd[1228]: Libgcrypt warning: missing initialization - please fix the application These seem to be related to the following change: http://git.gnupg.org/cgi- bin/gitweb.cgi?p=libgcrypt.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=7627f9646701e88c827bbadd1231221d5f0c89a6 It looks like that sshd does not properly initialize libgcrypt. From looking at the above patch, it does not seem to do any harm, since the lib will then initialize itself. When trying to find issues on a system, warnings like this will make things a bit more cloudy then needed. A proper implementation for this would be beneficial to the system in general. These warnings are present in 14.04. ** Affects: openssh (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: libgcrypt sshd trusty -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to openssh in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1397666 Title: sshd does not properly initialize libgcrypt To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/+bug/1397666/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
