SRA on AIX

SRA on AIX

Post by Nave » Thu, 13 Jul 1995 04:00:00



I am trying to compile the SRA package on AIX. I am having problems in
linking all the object files and the library routines. While linking the
code for the telnetd, the
error message that I get is that "unsetenv" and "setenv" are not
resolvable.  The functions for setenv and unsetenv are provided with
the SRA package (/SRA/lib/libbsd/setnenv.c).

The makefile uses the above library routines, which have have been
compiled successfully. I don't know what could be the problem.

Look at the setenv/getenv source that came with SRA.  A lot of times,
packages that come with these have the entire code segment #ifdef'd
with something to the effect of #ifdef NEED_SETENV

Check that, then check to see if the makefile is defining what
might need to be defined.

Hope this helps...

1. 2.2-960801-SNAP telnet/telnetd SRA patches

I have been running a version of telnet/telnetd that has an
authentication method called SRA on my Sun for a while now.
So far as I can tell it basically exchanges the login/password
info using Diffie-Hellmen, so you don't have to be running Kerberos
or set up any keys beforehand to have fully encrypted sessions
(one of the byproducts of the authentication is an encryption key).

I saw RSA code in 2.2-960801-SNAP's libtelnet, but I couldn't get
it to work. So I decided to see if I could shoehorn the SRA stuff into
2.2 instead.

I have just finished an all-nighter adding the SRA authentication
code to the libtelnet in 2.2-960801-SNAP. There are some rough edges
still, but I have at least managed to do authenticated logins
both between my Sun and to localhost. I haven't quite convinced it
to go straight into an encrypted session after authentication yet,
though.

Does anyone care? :-) I can make patches if so.
