macssh quits on connect

k. siegmund — Sun, 25 Sep 2005 14:23:10 -0000

since a security update on a debian system to
openssh-4.2p1-4, ssh connects to this host are not
possible anymore with macssh.
After username and password are entered, a macssh
window opens briefly, then closes, when connecting to
this server.
I'm not sure if I should file a report against sshd on
debian, but all other ssh clients (windows and older
versions of ssh under linux) seem to run fine, so I
suspect it's an issue with macssh.
This happens on a G2 machine.

Thanks for any help.

CR/LF conversion can't be disabled (port forwarding)

Joerg Bullmann — Thu, 17 Apr 2003 09:50:45 -0000

When CVS port forwarding, MacSSH performs CR/LF
conversion on the data stream. This will corrupt binary
files and also breaks the CVS client/server protocol as
described in the CVS client/server protocol spec.
Erm, I can't really explain why this seems to work with
MacCVS (my guess would be that the CVS protocol
implementation in there is less strict than the spec).
But I would suspect that binary files break when being
copied to or from the repository.

Font issue

I noticed that the ANSI/PC font has one minor issue. The octal character 317 should look similar to this.

At present, it looks the same as octal character 312.

MacSSH Quitting

Josh Benton — Thu, 14 Nov 2002 19:29:36 -0000

MacSSH is quitting after having multiple sessions open
for a while. The problems seems to be a little better,
but still happens, after raising the prefered and
maximum ram settings undet get info.

Function keys shifted by 1

Josh Benton — Fri, 19 Jul 2002 20:09:02 -0000

I am connecting to an OpenVMS server with MacSSH. When
using the EVE editor (standard with OpenVMS), the
function keys get shifted 1 to the right. For instance,
hitting F1 is F2, F2 is F3, etc.

MacSSH problem with OpenSSH/Solaris 7

Anonymous — Fri, 28 Jun 2002 18:01:25 -0000

When using MacSSH 2.1fc3 to connect to an OpenSSH
server running OpenSSH 3.4 on a Solaris 7 machine, the
connection will instantly close. All other ssh clients
(Unix and Windows) can connect to the server.

If a maintainer would like to contact me, I can give
you an example machine to try.

CVS port forward broken

Richard Archer — Thu, 25 Apr 2002 00:00:18 -0000

I'm afraid I don't have much info about this problem,
other than with releases 2.1fc2 and 2.1fc3 I can no
longer use MacSSH's CVS port forward feature to
connnect to SourceForge.

MacSSH-2.1fc1 works fine.

I have tried with zlib disabled and it still doesn't work.

I am using MacCVSClient v1.6, which gives me an error
of: "CVS access denied for
"richardarcher@127.0.0.1:514:/cvsroot/phplib". Please
check login profile details."

Cannot type "f" followed by "i"

Anonymous — Mon, 15 Apr 2002 06:38:15 -0000

I am using a Macintosh Powerbook 3400c, with OS 8.6. I
installed the MacSSH, however a peculiar problem has
developed which has made the program unusable for me. I
am unable to type in the letter "f," followed by the
letter "i" as in the command "find." This problem seems
to be the only one I have found with this program. Any
idea what the problem is?

Can't connect

Anonymous — Fri, 30 Nov 2001 17:54:11 -0000

Using macssh I never was able to connect to an OpenBSD
2.8 runnning on a sparc machine. Under X the ssh client
works fine.
I'll provide anything you need to debug this one.

problčme de buffer et retour chariot

Paul Guyot — Tue, 25 Sep 2001 10:03:26 -0000

Lorsque je fais tourner un truc qui bouffe tout plein
de CPU sur le mac (G3/233, MacOS 9.1) et que par
conséquent MacSSH n'a pas beaucoup la main,
taper une longue ligne de commande suivie d'un
retour chariot fait que MacSSH envoie au serveur la
suite des caractčres tapés tronquées (la fin n'est
pas envoyée) avec le retour chariot.

Par exemple, taper:
vi /usr/pkg/etc/httpd/httpd.conf<retour chariot>

conduit ŕ un truc comme:
vi /usr/pkg/et<retour chariot>

La solution est d'attendre de voir la ligne de
commande complčte pour taper sur retour chariot.
