Hello g00r00!

Cryptlib again :-(

With Ubuntu 22.04 LTS "Linux apu4 5.15.0-40-generic #43-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jun 15 12:54:21 UTC 2022 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux" it is no longer possible to take Cryptolib 345, as it can no longer be compiled. I am therefore forced to use Cryptolib 346, which can be compiled. However, Mystic BBS 1.12A47 and 1.12A48 do not run with it, the following error message always appears when connecting.

20:51:35 SSH > Connect on slot 1/5 (172.16.178.141)
20:51:35 SSH 1-HostName Alishas-MacBook-Pro.fritz.box
20:51:35 SSH 1-Negotiating SSH session
20:51:35 SSH Unable to set key (-2 )
20:51:35 SSH 1-Session failed

The ssl.cert file exists and has also been regenerated by Mystic
-rw------- 1 mystic mystic 2111 Jul 12 20:50 /mystic/data/ssl.cert

Could you please look at this and possibly fix it in the next version of MysticBBS 1.12A48?

Greetings and thanks

Alisha

I believe it can you just have to change an old removed command line they have in the Makefile.

But you can also download a precompiled one and try that here:

www.mysticbbs.com/downloads/cryptlib/

From the intel_linux64 directory copy libcl.so into your /usr/lib directory and delete ssl.cert if you have one in data folder.

Hello g00r00!

Replying to a msg dated 12 Jul 22 18:49, from you to me.

The precompiled binary does not work, but I found the solution how to use the Cryptolib 3.4.5 under Ubuntu 22.04 and that SSL runs. Attached is the solution how I did it and it worked.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install gcc-9 g++-9
sudo apt-get install zip unzip
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-9 9
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-9 9
wget http://www.mysticbbs.com/downloads/cl345.zip
mkdir cl345
cd cl345
unzip -ax ../cl345.zip
sudo make shared
sudo mv libcl.so.3.4.5 /usr/lib/libcl.so
sudo rm /mystic/data/ssl.cert
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-11 11
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-11 11
reboot the system

Thanks for letting me know. Its odd because I downloaded a fresh 22.04 Ubuntu and tried the precompiled binary which worked for me. I'll have to try it again later and see if I can figure out whats going on there..

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

Yep this is what will do it. The change from gcc 9 to 11 is what broke the Makefile for 3.4.5. For some reason Cryptlib Makefile uses some compiler options that I believe were "depreciated" about a decade ago and were finally removed entirely in 11.

I'll try to update the Wiki with a note about this!

Hello Nicola!

On 25 Jul 2022, Nicola Mettimano said the following...

interface "::" + 25.07.2022 00:26:21 MANAGER Cryptlib not detected; SSL/SSH capabilities disabled

If it fails to locate the library, it might be worth trying to move libc.so (it must be named exactly like that, or you will need to create a libcl.so symlink to point to the version-numbered file, i.e. libcl.so --> libcl.so.3.4.5) to a directory of its own, and set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to point to that directory when starting Mystic, e.g.:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/bbs/cryptlib

How and where you set this depends on how you start Mystic; I start Mystic through systemd, so I use:

[Service]
Environment=LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/bbs/cryptlib

...in my Mystic systemd unit/service file.

Hope this helps!

Best regards
Björn

Hi Alisha,

Thanks for the help there. While my system's CentOS, what I
did was a bit different.

Instead of moving to /usr/lib/libcl.so, I did the following:

1) in /mystic, mkdir libs
2) in cl345: mv libcl.so.3.4.5 /mystic/libs

Then it ran with CryptLib detected.

Hi Alisha!! FANTASTIC catch, this setup solved 2 of my problems with my system.. GMail password resets stopped working, SSH was spotty using 3.4.4, it worked most of the time. BUT I followed your instructions and built 3.4.5 and Gmail Password resets work properly now, and SSH has been solid! Thanks I snapped a pic of your instructions and will use that in the future..

Thanks again...
