• cryptlib on debian 12

    From MeaTLoTioN@21:1/158 to All on Saturday, January 06, 2024 00:55:20
    Hey y'all,

    Has anyone managed to get cryptlib to work successfully for Mystic under Debian 12?
    I've tried building 3 or 4 different versions of it and although they build ok I can't ssh to mystic under debian12 with cryptlib 3.4.x

    Anyone managed to get it to work? Specifically on Debian 12, not Ubuntu or anything else similar.


    Cheers in advance

    Yep, running 3.4.5 (the only one that seems to work with Mystic) here on Debian 12 on x86_64 (amd64).

    I've tried building 3 or 4 different versions of it and although they build ok I can't ssh to mystic under debian12 with cryptlib 3.4.x

    Try stopping MIS, removing data/ssl.cert and then restarting MIS. If I remember correctly the self-signed certificate left-overs can cause trouble...

    Try building it as per the note on the wiki page using I believe gcc v9 instead of 10 or 8 in place of 9.. I have it running on my Debian 12 with no issues.

    https://wiki.mysticbbs.com/doku.php?id=cryptlib

    That should do it...

    Yeah I tried that, but gcc9 isn't available in the debian 12 repos, they may have been at some point in the past but not now it seems.

    # apt-get install gcc-9 g++-9

    Package g++-9 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
    This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
    is only available from another source

    E: Unable to locate package gcc-9
    E: Package 'g++-9' has no installation candidate

    I'll keep trying, at least telnet works ok =)

    Nice, I knew it would be possible

    I don't have that file in the data dir (or any other dir).
    When I start mystic in server mode (not headless) I can see SSH starts up and binds ok to the port I chose, but when I try and connect to the BBS using SSH on that port, I just see a message in that log that shows saying "Exception 0" (in red), and syncterm just sits there trying to connect until I quit it. Then if I shutdown mis I get a more detailed yet equally as unhelpful Exception message on the cli.

    Hmm I tried installing the gcc9 as per the wiki but it doesn't appear to be available in the debian 12 repos anymore;

    I just installed Debian 12 on a VM here.

    Then I copied /usr/lib/libcl.so from another Ubuntu 20.04 VM to /usr/lib/libcl.so on the Debian 12 VM and was able to SSH into a test Mystic install.

    Try this -- the build problems with newer versions of gcc (e.g. 12) are simply due to an obsolete version check, and can easily be circumvented without resorting to older gcc versions:

    Thanks, just used the patch line with the already downloaded cl345.zip from previous attempts, and giving a build a go and will let you know how it goes =)

    I knew it would be something simple without having to use an older version of gcc =)

    Well that didn't work either, for some reason it's not creating a ssl.cert file in /mystic/data - I checked all the perms are ok which they are, I think that's probably my issue, not that CL isn't actually working.

    Hmm

    I just went through something like this myself trying to get something that was not on the current repo. I needed to download Java 11 for an older Assembler I use, so I added the following to my sources.lst right under the bookworm sources.

    deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/bullseye main
    deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/bullseye main

    After you get what you need from it you can then rem out the lines..

    Let me know if that helps, if not I will just upload a copy of mine to your board..

    Try upgrading Mystic. Looks like you're using an A48 alpha before A48 was released as a stable version, and most of the people that do seem to have it working are at the stable version of A48 or in the A49 alphas. There's always the possibility SSH (or whatever one has a problem with at the time while using an old version) was being worked on at that time, and it's damn near impossible to try to help people while using stuff that technically isn't even supported any more (g00 may support A48 stable but may also try to convince you to upgrade to the latest alpha to see if your problem was already fixed).

    Regards,
    Nick

    Sadly no, I copied my old libcl.so from my backups of my old ubuntu vm and tried that but the same thing, I think I will try upgrading Mystic to the latest version and then see what happens then

    And you're trying with a high port. Not 22? Something like 2022.

    I have a precompiled version sitting on my BBS, but it's been some time since I was looking at this myself.

    Will figure it soon.

    Now that you're upgraded, try all of the things you were told to try before. ;)

    Do you see an ssl.cert now?

    If there's a write-up or how-to on the wiki, follow that and see if you can get it to work now that you're using the latest version.

    Otherwise, I think I joined in on this conversation a bit late, what was the errors you were encountering?

    Regards,
    Nick

    I have tried them all already since upgrading =)

    No, still don't see it and it isn't creating it.

    Followed it again and still no dice :/

    Never too late to the party, and thanks for your help and suggestions. The wiki is always my first goto, once that fails me, I then ask questions =)

    Hello MeaTLoTioN!

    You could try starting MIS through 'strace', to get a trace/log of what it's doing:

    strace -f -vvv -s32768 /home/bbs/mystic/mis daemon 2>&1 | tee /tmp/mis.log

    ...or similar, as the BBS user. (Don't forget to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable first, though, or the SSL support won't be attempted.)

    Once it appears to have started, abort the tracing/logging with Ctrl+C. Then have a look at /tmp/mis.log and look for any lines containg the string "ENO" (such as "ENOENT", indicating that it was looking for something but didn't find it). And perhaps "ssl.cert". Maybe that could give some clues as to what it does.

    Best regards
    Zip

    Have you enabled the SSH server? What do your logs say when you restart MIS?

    what was the errors you were encountering?

    Never too late to the party, and thanks for your help and suggestions.

    questions =)

    What are the exact error(s) you're encountering? Might be useful to list them so they can be picked apart one at a time.

    Regards,
    Nick

    /tmp/mis.log

    Genius! This allowed me to find out the error, and fix it!

    When I ran it, I saw this;

    openat(AT_FDCWD, "libs/libcl.so", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

    I realised that libcl.so even tho /usr/lib was in the path and in LD_LIBRARY_PATH, mis wasn't aware, so I just made a dir /mystic/libs and put libcl.so in there, and boom, SSH works!


    Woohoo, thanks for the help/advice/words of wisdom.

    Glad to hear that!

    Yes, strace can come in handy when there seems to be no logical explanation to what's happening. I use it more and more often these days. =)

    I know right?! I've used it a few times before, but it never crossed my mind to use it for this situ, very appreciated of your help.
