[14:48:36] Hi, I've got a problem... it seems ssh has been updated and now it doesn't accept -- as end-of-arguments and I can't do ssh to -jem-@remote.host... any help? [14:51:53] jem: have you tried `ssh -l-jem- remote.host` ? [14:52:43] and your shell username on WMCS is `jem`, not `-jem-` [14:53:04] Yes, taavi, but in the remote host it's -jem- [14:53:23] stw: "remote username contains invalid characters" also [14:53:38] what are you actually trying to do? how is this related to WMCS? [14:54:15] My WMCS tool connects to my bot in the Wikimedia Spain server to update pages [14:55:33] Maybe I could migrate the bot and in fact there is a backup in Toolforge, but there were problems in the past [14:56:22] This was not a problem at all two nights ago [14:56:43] So I guess ssh has been updated [14:57:23] There were some SSH updates (which I guess apply to cloud) ~5 days ago [14:57:47] yeah, ssh was recently updated in https://tracker.debian.org/news/1489898/accepted-openssh-179p1-10deb10u4-source-into-oldoldstable/ and the fix for https://github.com/openssh/openssh-portable/commit/7ef3787c84b6b524501211b11a26c742f829af1a seems relevant [14:57:58] (that commit is the CVE-2023-51385 fix) [14:59:15] Hmmm [14:59:35] So, what could or should I do, taavi? [14:59:41] the posix spec says "The hyphen should not be used as the first character of a portable user name." [15:00:29] Well, it was Platonides who decided that usernames in the server should match Wikipedia usernames... [15:01:17] I guess it can be changed if there are no more options, but a lot of code will have to be changed :( [15:02:25] who said usernames had to match? [15:03:13] Obviously it's not a "must" but a way to have an organization [15:03:18] (I guess) [15:04:18] (And yes, greetings to the ruwiki blocked user who took the jem name) [15:17:05] Thanks everyone for the help, btw [15:17:40] I'll talk with Platonides and we'll see
