(Please read before merking as dup of http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=103130 ) There is a bug in gnome-vfs that makes it unable to connect to FreeBSD OpenSSH servers (and possibly others) using password authentication, as they (by default) send a different string before waiting for password input. gnome-vfs has always had a patch for this in Gentoo, until some time ago. For some reason the patch never got accepted/processed upstream and so I am trying my luck again with Gentoo. I left comments+patch about a month ago in the aforementioned bug but maybe I should submit a new one for this (apologies if I shouldn't) for it to be picked up. Attached patch will make gnome-vfs check for both "password: " and "password:" (and with capital P) and is for gnome-vfs-2.12.2. Please consider including it again.
Created attachment 80741 [details, diff] Patch against gnome-vfs-2.12.2
Where is the relevant gnome bug exactly ? Afaics the 2.12.2 ebuild still patches for this.
The relevant gnome bug is at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=168203 . As far as I can see, gnome-vfs-2.10.1 is the last ebuild that patched for this issue. There are two patches that have 'fbsd' in the filename though, the gnome-vfs-2.11.92-fbsd.patch is still used, but solves another issue. 'gnome-vfs-2.10.1-fbsd.patch' is the patch that used to fix the password string issue.
correct, I guess the pack bumper at the time assumed it was the same fix and so part of the patch got lost.
*** Bug 126506 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I suggest that you use this patch instead (that I posted in a duplicate of this bug: 126506) http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=82353 That is how the problem is solved in the 2.14.0 verision. (only one line added instead of two)
this is currently applied upstream, marking this bug as fixed.
