I've just got ajaxterm working on my amd64 machine by adding the ~amd64 keyword. The init script does not work on my x86 machine (python 2.4.2), but it does on amd64. I was able to get it working using the command "ajaxterm --daemon" on x86. Great little package - I'm unable to access my server at work because almost all outgoing ports are blocked. Are there any security concerns if I use the apache/proxy setup as recommended?
I confirm ajaxterm in portage (0.6) is working on amd64. I also got 0.7 version working with just changing the version in ebuild.
works for me too. building the ~x86 code works fine, no ebuild mods, the init script doesn't work, but calling /usr/bin/ajaxterm *does* work.
Version 0.9 works here on ~amd64, and with the init script About the init script, I add to cut the "--uid=nobody" part off to make it work on my x86 hardened server (this parameter was not there in the 0.7 init script). That should go on a separate bugreport, though. emerge --info: Portage 2.1.1_pre3-r4 (default-linux/amd64/2006.0, gcc-4.1.1/amd64-vanilla, glibc-2.4-r3, 2.6.17-ck1 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.17-ck1 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3700+ Gentoo Base System version 1.12.1 ccache version 2.4 [enabled] app-admin/eselect-compiler: 2.0.0_rc2-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.4.3-r1 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r2 dev-util/confcache: 0.4.2-r1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.60 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.17 sys-devel/gcc-config: 2.0.0_rc1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.16 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=athlon64 -O2 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/NX/etc /usr/NX/home /usr/grass60/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/eselect/compiler /etc/gconf /etc/java-config/vms/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon64 -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig ccache confcache distlocks fixpackages metadata-transfer parallel-fetch prelink sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://ftp.belnet.be/mirror/rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo/ http://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/os/linux/gentoo http://mir.zyrianes.net/gentoo/ http://pandemonium.tiscali.de/pub/gentoo/" LANG="fr_FR@euro" LC_ALL="fr_FR" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed" LINGUAS="fr fr_FR" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude='/distfiles' --exclude='/local' --exclude='/packages'" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage /usr/portage/local/layman/nxsty-glibc" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="amd64 X a52 aac aalib acpi aim alsa audiofile avi bash-completion berkdb bitmap-fonts bonobo browserplugin bzip2 cairo cddb cdr cli crypt cscope cups curl dbus dga dio dlloader dri dts dvb dvd dvdr dvdread emboss encode exif expat ffmpeg fftw flac foomaticdb fortran ftp gb gcj gd gdbm gif gimp glut gmp gnome gnustep gnutls gphoto2 gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 gtkhtml iconv idn imagemagick imap imlib ipv6 isdnlog jabber java jikes joystick jpeg kdehiddenvisibility lcms libcaca live lzw lzw-tiff mad matroska mbox mikmod mime mng mono mp3 mpeg msn musicbrainz nas ncurses nls nptl nptlonly nsplugin nvidia objc offensive ogg oggvorbis openal opengl oscar oss pam pcmcia pcre pda pdf pdflib perl php pic png posix ppds pppd python qt qt3 qt4 quicktime readline recode reflection ruby samba scanner sdl seamonkey session slang speex spell spl sqlite ssl startup-notification svg tcltk tcpd tetex theora threads tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode usb v4l vcd vorbis wifi wmf wxwindows x264 xcomposite xface xine xinerama xml xml2 xmms xorg xosd xpm xscreensaver xv xvid yahoo zlib elibc_glibc input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse input_devices_synaptics input_devices_evdev kernel_linux linguas_fr linguas_fr_FR userland_GNU video_cards_none video_cards_nvidia" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
~amd64 added. Thanks for testing everyone. Bernard, I'm not a hardened user, so I don't know the specifics of an ssh localhost in that environment, but you are running ssh on that server correct?
Yes I have a sshd up and running (standard configuration, with a non-standard port to prevent scan), but since the init script is run as root, ajaxterm should start login, and not try ssh @localhost?
Just realized... I guess the command run by ajaxterm changes with the -u nobody (and that it does not depend on the real original uid!). I'll look into it and bugreport if necessary, sorry if it was a false alarm!
