in order to compile it with Xcode you have to install the “Command Line Tools” from within Xcode (google on how to do it).

When the dollar signs for ETB doesn’t work then you’re using a different shell to execute it. I had to change #!/bin/sh to bash to get it to work on some servers…

But I’m glad that you got it working!

Attempt 1 on my OSX 10.7 machine wouldn’t compile because the /usr/include/*.h files aren’t installed. (WTF? and yes, the developer tools *are* installed). Worked okay on a different machine running 10.6.

Couldn’t get the remote function to work on my XServe, because it doesn’t have netcat. It also is configured to block *all* ssh environment variables, although that’s easy to fix.

Couldn’t get the remote function to work on my Ubuntu server because echo defaults to NOT expanding slash escapes unless invoked with -e. I had to change the next to last line of edit-remote.sh to start with “/bin/echo -e -n “. I also had to remove the dollar signs at the top of that file from the lines that set ETB and EOT. I *think* those were the only changes required to get it to work.

My only feedback would be to allow the server to be stopped by calling the binary with a kill-flag (like “-k”): Closing it from Activity Monitor, or passing it a ‘kill’ from Terminal is the only current way to stop the process, if it’s not in interactive mode.

the edit-server.c must be complied (and not executed, see doc), in case of the edit-ssh.sh use “chmod 755 edit-ssh.sh” to fix it.

I also get the same error from edit-ssh.sh

thanks,
