[<Ema...@te...>]

Hello,

sorry for the big delay:

the config file says:

X11Forwarding yes
X11DisplayOffset 10
X11UseLocalhost yes

So this should't be the problem. 

Do you have any other hints?

[tbox-l] Problems with glade_xml_signal_autoconnect()

[Joel W. <jwh...@us...>]

Hi,

I'm trying to use the glade_xml_signal_autoconnect() function that comes
with libglade to automatically join signals listed in a glade-2 generated
XML file back to their appropriate signal handling callback functions. It
does this by looking up these symbols in the parent binary file's symbol
table. I put together a small code example and it runs and compiles fine on
Linux, but fails to match up any signals with the callback functions on
AIX.

I've seen online in a few places that I need to use the --export-dynamic
flag, but gcc complains that this is an invalid flag during both compiling
and/or linking. Some places say that extern "C" is needed, but since I'm
using the gcc (C) compiler, and not g++ (C++), this should not be necessary
(and the compiler wont compile it anyway).

I've posted a bug at
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1186038&group_id=128955&atid=712808.
 It has compiler flags and sample source listed.
But I know that AIX can be picky when it comes to sharing or exporting
symbols. Has anyone out there gotten this to work? Maybe there is something
extra that I need to do to make this work that I'm currently overlooking?

Thanks,

Joel Wheeler

[tbox-l] Openssl and Openssh with 64bit-aix

[<Ema...@te...>]

Hi all,

I have here a machine with 64bit enabled aix. (OS is aix 5.2 ML4, 
openssl-0.9.7d-2, openssh.base-3.8.0.5202) 
On a normal (32bit) machine everything works fine, but with 64bit enabled 
I am not able to forward a X11 connection with "ssh -X"

Does anyone else see such a problem?

The error message I get is:

ansysusr@ans1:~> X Error of failed request:  BadAtom (invalid Atom 
parameter)
  Major opcode of failed request:  20 (X_GetProperty)
  Atom id in failed request:  0x17
  Serial number of failed request:  3
  Current serial number in output stream:  3

Can anyone give me a hint about this issues?

Thanks in advance

Re: [tbox-l] ssl-enabled openldap ?

[David C. <cl...@au...>]

The openldap image with ssl enabled is now built and available on the
cryptographic-content site:
   http://www6.software.ibm.com/dl/aixtbx/aixtbx-p
Scroll down to the "Web Server Tools" section.

The regular (non-SSL-enabled) openldap is still available on the main AIX
Toolbox site and has not been changed.

Re: [tbox-l] Tcl over SSH problem (revisited)

[David C. <cl...@au...>]

I remember trying this and seeing the same behavior myself some time ago.
We've been waiting on clearance to distribute 8.4.7 for some time now, and
it has been hinted to me that this may finally happen relatively soon
(though it is not a certainty until it actually happens, so I hope this is
not a false alarm).

Meanwhile, I'll try out a re-build with the patch in [2].

Re: [tbox-l] OpenSSL and OpenSSH availability

[David C. <cl...@au...>]

Alex,

I had tried to minimize that issue -- if you look at the download page
where you get the OpenSSL image from the Toolbox, you will see there is also
an OpenSSH section.  At the top of that section is a link that takes you
straight to the OpenSSH download for AIX.  So while it is not on the exact
same page, it is just a mouse click away.

Although it is built and administered by a separate person/team, most
importantly it is provided with different Terms and Conditions such that it
does not belong within the fence of the AIX Toolbox.  The separation of the
Toolbox packages from other products is intentional.

RE: [tbox-l] OpenSSL and OpenSSH availability

[Alex P. <AL...@Am...>]

David,

I appreciate your answer; however present situation is very cumbersome:

While open ssh depends on pre-installation of open ssl, the 2 packages
must be downloaded from two different locations and installed using
different methods.

Why it is impossible to distribute both tools in the framework of
Toolbox, while continuing to provide support just for the ssh, if IBM
chooses to do so?

[tbox-l] Tcl over SSH problem (revisited)

[Markus A. <al...@de...>]

Hi all,

lately a user here ran into a problem that seems to be same as the one
described in [1]. He logged into a remote machine using OpenSSH and ran
a Tcl script. This script was executed, but afterwards the SSH
connection just "hung", i.e. he did not get a shell prompt.

I could easily reproduce this with either the well-known


#!/usr/bin/tclsh

puts "Hello world"


or by just typing "tclsh" and then "exit" at tclsh's prompt. In addition
to that, two persons at other IBM sites that I've contacted did also see
this behaviour. So it seems to me as if the bug described in [1] still
exists in the AIX Toolbox for Linux Tcl RPM.

Apparently it is related to the way Tcl handles input/output to
stdin/stdout, as "helloworldscript | cat -" surprisingly worked! And it
also only happens with an OpenSSH connection; after logging in via
telnet or rlogin there was no problem with Tcl.

This is on AIX 5.1 with Tcl 8.3.3 and various version of OpenSSH
(self-compiled 3.9p1 as well as the 3.8.1p1 LPP provided by IBM for AIX
5.1).

I've done some more tests with other - older and newer - Tcl versions
that we and other IBM sites have installed in distributed filesystem and
found the following:

 - versions 7.3, 7.4 and 8.0 worked
 - version 8.2 did *not* work
 - versions 8.3.1 and 8.3.3 (both from AIX Toolbox RPMs) did *not* work
 - version 8.3.4 did *not* work
 - version 8.4.4 worked

Looks like this obvious bug has been introduced in the Tcl code after
8.0 and fixed in the latest 8.4 release. Googling for "tcl 8 ssh" I've
found a bug report [2] from 2001 that refers to AIX 4.3.3, but seems to
exactly describe the problem.

So finally my questions are:

 1. Can anybody reproduce this behaviour?
 2. If yes, are there plans to release an updated Tcl RPM? Either the
same version with a patch or a new version (i.e. 8.4). (Yes, I know
about the legal battle with newer versions ... :-/ )

Any comments are much appreciated!

TIA & regards,
Markus

Re: [tbox-l] ssl-enabled openldap ?

[David C. <cl...@au...>]

The images on the Toolbox site are generally built with all defaults as
much as possible.  When we added openssl, a small number of packages were
built with a 2nd version with ssl enabled, and these are what you see on
the 'cryptographic content' site, distinguishing them from the versions on
the main Toolbox site.  There were never plans to put more than a handful
of packages on the crypto site.

But I'll try out a build of openldap with ssl.  If it works OK then I can
have it added to that site.

[tbox-l] OpenSSL and OpenSSH availability

[Alex P. <AL...@Am...>]

Does anyone have explanation why openssl is packaged as RPM while
openssh that depends on its pre-installation is delivered by IBM as lpp
packages?

What are the latest versions of these tools, as supplied by IBM,  for
AIX 5.2 and AIX 5.3?

[tbox-l] ssl-enabled openldap ?

[John S. <lba...@gm...>]

Hi,


I noticed that the openldap binary provided in the aix toolbox for
linux does not appear to provided support for SSL. I am aware that
there are separate downloads for packages that contain so-called
'Cryptographic Content', but I could not find a SSL enabled openldap
version there either.

 Is this done on purpose, or has someone just made a mistake ? Are
there any plans to provide an SSL enabled openldap in the future ?



Sincerely,


John Smith.

I think this will help.  Just run the following commands (as root):

mkdir /usr/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo
chmod 755 /usr/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo
echo "0" > /usr/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/fonts.dir
chmod 644 /usr/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/fonts.dir

[tbox-l] Problem with VNC from AIX Toolbox for Linux Applications.

[Dale C. <dch...@us...>]

I have installed the VNC RPM package on an AIX 5.1 machine.  The program 
fails to run because the font directory /usr/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo is not 
found.  This appears to be a Linux font set.  Where can I find it?

Re: [tbox-l] update_tbox

[David C. <cl...@au...>]

Hmmm... probably a bug in the script.  What AIX level is this system on,
and which cdrecord level was installed at the time you ran the script?

There must be some trouble parsing it because of the two levels.  To
clarify the versions:

-If you have AIX 5.2 or later, cdrecord-1.9-5.aix5.2.ppc.rpm is the most
   current available.
-If you have AIX 5.1.* or earlier, cdrecord-1.9-4.aix4.3.ppc.rpm is the
   most current available.

(The reason for the two images is that there is a patch for IDE drives in
 the 5.2+ version that is N/A for older AIX levels.  So 1.9-5 is the latest,
 but the 1.9-4 version is still there for pre-5.2 AIX levels).

[tbox-l] Problem with VNC package

[Blake G. <tro...@gm...>]

We recently installed the vnc rpm package from the aixtoolbox site and
it has the strangest problem. When the user connects to the system the
display comes up showing the CDE and everything looks fine. However
when they try to enter text with the keyboard the wrong characters are
displayed. It appears that the keyboard map has shifted 5 or 6 keys
over.

Some font errors showed up initially however I think we have resolved
those errors by modifying the fontpath.

This system is a freshly installed version of AIX 5.1 so my other
suspicion it that we are missing some needed patch..

Any suggestions of resolving this issue are welcome.

Thanks,
Blake-

P.S. Resending this due to list server change..

[tbox-l] ANNOUNCEMENT: Toolbox developer mailing list and URL has changed

[David C. <cl...@au...>]

*** IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT -- MAILING LIST ADDRESS IS CHANGING ***

The AIX Toolbox developerWorks site has now been migrated to SourceForge.net.

If you wish to send email to the AIX Toolbox mailing list, you should use
the following address effective immediately:
	aix...@li...

This list contains the same membership(*) and is now functional.  Please
discontinue use of aix...@os... immediately.  That
address will soon be permanently retired.

The new project homepage at SourceForge.net is:
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/aixtoolbox
If you currently access or have bookmarks for 
    http://oss.software.ibm.com/developerworks/projects/aixtoolbox
you should replace it with the new URL.

This does not affect the location of the Web and FTP download site where the
rpm images are currently available; that site is not changing.


(*)Note: If you took action on your mail account by joining or leaving the

Re: [tbox-l] Install Failed for Open SSH 3.8

[Gregory Y. <gre...@uc...>]

I had a similar problem on one of our 5.2 base systems.  I'm uncertain if 
it was corrected by rebooting or if it was corrected because we applied 
ML4.  One or the other did correct the problem and I was able to install 
the fileset then with no errors.

Gregory Young

Re: [tbox-l] Install Failed for Open SSH 3.8

[David C. <cl...@au...>]

Their postinstall script is just trying to generate an RSA key and it is
failing for some reason.
You might try running the RSA key generation by itself on the command line,
and see what messages or errors you get:
/usr/bin/ssh-keygen -q -t rsa -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key -C '' -N ''
Maybe it can't write the /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key file for some reason.

[tbox-l] Install Failed for Open SSH 3.8

[<mfa...@he...>]

When Installing  Open SSH I get an error message that it failed. RSA key 
generation failed. Failed while executing the ./openssh.base.server.post_i 
script.

I did install the SSL version 0.9.7d first. I have installed this on about 
10 other servers with no problems.

I found this problem in the archives, but it was trying to install SSH for 
AIX 5.2 on a 5.1 box. ( oslevel shows 5.2 ml1). Just for the heck of it I 
tried SSH for 5.1, and
it would not even recognize the media.

Any ideas?

The fileutils, sh-utils, and textutils RPMs were replaced by the coreutils 
RPM. The tcsh RPM has not been rebuilt to include the new prerequisite. 
Try downloading the coreutils RPM from the toolbox at this location:

ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc/coreutils/coreutils-5.0-2.aix5.1.ppc.rpm

After installing that RPM, the tcsh RPM should be able to be installed.

[tbox-l] problem with tcsh requisites

[Stewart D. <sd...@ba...>]

Whe I try to install tcsh, downloaded from the AIX Toolbox for Linux 
Applications webpage, on an RS/6000 running AIX 5.2, ML4, the rpm 
installation  fails, citing the missing requisites of grep and fileutils 
(the RPM packages for these are not installed).  grep is available from 
the webpage, but fileutiles is not

Now one of the following should happen:
1) tcsh should be removed from this page because it's missing its requisites
2) fileutile should be added if it won't conflict with AIX
2) tcsh should be rebuilt so it doesn't need GNU requisites for which 
there are AIX compatible equivalents


...or something
