Bug#312792: ssh-agent removes socket when it finds it in use
Package: ssh
Version: 1:3.8.1p1-8.sarge.4
Severity: important
When specifying a socket to use on the command line of ssh-agent,
if that socket is already in use, that is reported as an error
and subsequently, just before quitting, it is changed to not being
in use anymore (that is, it's unlinked):
| bind(3, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path="blah"}, 110) = -1 EADDRINUSE (Address already in use)
| dup(2) = 4
| fcntl64(4, F_GETFL) = 0x8002 (flags O_RDWR|O_LARGEFILE)
| fstat64(4, {st_mode=S_IFCHR|0600, st_rdev=makedev(4, 7), ...}) = 0
| ioctl(4, SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE or TCGETS, {B38400 opost isig icanon echo ...}) = 0
| old_mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x40018000
| _llseek(4, 0, 0xbffffa00, SEEK_CUR) = -1 ESPIPE (Illegal seek)
| write(4, "bind: Address already in use\n", 29bind: Address already in use
| ) = 29
| close(4) = 0
| munmap(0x40018000, 4096) = 0
| unlink("blah") = 0
| exit_group(1) = ?
Either it should be unlinked and then recreated, or it should be left
alone (I'd prefer the latter, to facilitate an easy "one agent for all
sessions"-setup), but as it's now, it certainly is a pretty silly
behaviour.
