RSE Connect failure using Dstore daemon [message #930421]

Folks,

I am running Eclipse C/C++ Indigo with RSE 8.0 on a Windows XP Pro SP3 PC.
I am trying to connect to remote projects on a Solaris 10 Unix server.
I installed and started the rserver version 3.4 Dstore daemon and confirmed it is listening on port 4075.

When I try to connect my connection in RSE I get the following error:
"RSEG1243 Failed to connect to the daemon on hostname using port 4075 with unexpected error".

When I check the daemon process on the Unix server it has spawned a sub-process to run auth.pl to verify my password but it is just hanging.

Any ideas what could be causing this?

Thanks,
Damien.

Hi Damien,

If you have root access on the server machine, can you try the following?

1) Open a shell and cd to the directory that contains the server scripts
(i.e. wherever auth.pl is)
2) Run the command ./auth.pl <user> / 5555 10000 10000
3) After the script starts, it will wait on stdin. Type your password and
press return.

Do you get the "success" message? Do you see any other messages in the
shell?

Thanks,
Dave

Hi,

Sorry for the delay in replying, the email notification from this forum is obviously not getting through to me for some reason.

To resolve this issue I added the following to auth.pl after the call to getpwnam():

if ("$passwd" eq "x")
{
open (SHDW,"</etc/shadow") ;
while(<SHDW>)
{
if (/^$userIN:/)
{
/^[^:]+:([^:]+):/;
$passwd= $1;
last;
}
}
close(SHDW);
}

This is because Solaris does not store the encrypted password on the passwd object returned by getpwnam(), it instead stores it in the /etc/shadow file.

Regards,
Damien.

Apologies that last post was misleading, that code change was not in fact what corrected the hanging auth.pl.

I also set $suOptions=""; as using $suOptions="-"; forced the user's .profile to be executed and if it contained any prompts it caused the shell to hang in the background.

Regards,
Damien.

Interesting that the prompts in the .profile cause a hang. We want to run
the profile so that the proper user environment is set up although I'm not
sure how or whether we should automatically handle prompts in the profile.
