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!
