2005-04-29 09:00 UTC, Joan Picanyol i Puig 		none Details | Review

Description Simon Manlay 2005-03-01 10:19:05 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
I'm running linux (debian sarge)
When mounting ssh VFS to different linux OS, no problem
But I can't open a SSH VFS when the remote computer is running freeBSD
I can connect with ssh oand scp from console to this host, but vfs cannot

Steps to reproduce:
1. go to computer:///
2. Create a new connection, type ssh to a freeBSD host
3. Open this VFS


Actual results:
Waiting, waiting, and nothing append
Sometimes, nautilus crashes


Expected results:
I can open the virtual folder

Does this happen every time?
YES

Perhaps have I a blocking option
Comment 2 Simon Manlay 2005-03-01 11:36:08 UTC 
After testing, the problem occurs on 2.9.91 too
I've attached the FreeBSD sshd_config file, if it can help

I'm ready to send backtraces, but I not really know how to do it for vfs ... if
somebody can tell me ...
Comment 3 Simon Manlay 2005-03-21 10:55:18 UTC 
Same problem whith 2.10.0
Comment 4 Simon Manlay 2005-03-21 10:57:34 UTC 
The problem also occurs from FreeBSD to linux
I can open sftp:// to a FreeBSD host from FreeBSD, but can't open linux host
from FreeBSD

I have verified the problem, it happens trying password-based authentication
*to* FreeBSD servers. The attached patch by the FreeBSD GNOME team solves the
problem on an Ubuntu Hoary (GNOME 2.10.0) machine.

Joan: Thank you very much for your patch! There is already a patch attached to
bug 168203 which also fixes this issue, so I'm closing this one.
