Note: Crossposting and Reply-To'ing to X2Go-Dev due to the need for a
C/C++ coder, also, turning it into a bug so we can keep track of this.

Here's the output the user gets as the connection refuses to establish
itself:

My first guess is/was that there's something endianess-related going
wrong, as he's running X2Go on a ppc64 architecture instead of x86/x64.
However, the fact that the two "wrong" IPs change at random speak
against that, so I may be totally wrong with this and there's a much
simpler reason and solution.

Here's what I was able to find out so far:

I was able to locate the message in Loop.cpp.
It uses the variable "connectedHost".
So "connectedHost" contains the wrong IP.

connectedHost gets populated (also in Loop.cpp) like this:

char *connectedHost = inet_ntoa(newAddr.sin_addr);

so either newAddr.sin_addr already contains a wrong value (I'm not sure
how to check that, though), or inet_ntoa does something wrong, or both.

I haven't touched C/C++ code since the year 2002 or so, so debugging
this further is way beyond my ken.

Any one of the more experienced coders willing to jump in?

sorry Stefan,

I missed your message

I'm currently at home, thru internet + openVPN. Here is the traceroute
output
Unfortunatly, some router doesn't sent their IP.

Server has the following IP : 10.7.19.161

I had asked Sebastien (off-list, yesterday) to provide IPs of client and
host as well as traceroutes between them (back and forth), but haven't
heard back from him yet.
Also, regarding the Name vs. IP question, seconded (I think I asked him
before, too, again, off-list, but it seems he skipped that question).

If I hear from him, I will add the info to BTS.

Hi Guys,

Just to tell you, I have reproduce the issue on another machine in RedHat 
7.0 ppc64

IP of this system is different (10.7.19.168) which could explain the 
different IP in the session.log...
But again, I don't know what is this IP addresse. ....

Follow-up: I've written a simple program to look up hosts using the OS-provided
functions getaddrinfo() and inet_ntop(). If you (Sebastien) are interested, take
a look in /usr/src/domainlookup, although it's really boring.

Output for "./getaddrinfo localhost 127.0.0.1 loopback":

### information for localhost ###
addr 1: 127.0.0.1 (length 9)
addr 2: 127.0.0.1 (length 9)
addr 3: 127.0.0.1 (length 9)
addr 4: 127.0.0.1 (length 9)
addr 5: 127.0.0.1 (length 9)
addr 6: 127.0.0.1 (length 9)

### information for 127.0.0.1 ###
addr 1: 127.0.0.1 (length 9)
addr 2: 127.0.0.1 (length 9)
addr 3: 127.0.0.1 (length 9)

### information for loopback ###


Thus, it doesn't look like a system issue. The returned addresses are just fine.
Even if something WERE to convert 127.0.0.1 to "localhost" and back to an
address, the address list for localhost is fine and does not contain the unknown
addresses.

Seems like we're really seeing an nx bug on ppc64.

I'll supply more information later when I get back.

Sorry for sending the last eMail to the wrong bug number, Mike. I got confused
with the threads and was adding the addressing manually. :(

However, I have good news for #515. I was able to fix the bug.

I'll be writing a roundup and attaching a patch, soon.

Subject: Re: Bug#515: [X2Go-Dev] [X2Go-User] "connectedHost" variable contains wrong IP, reason unknown
Date: Sat, 14 Jun 2014 03:40:07 +0200
[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Basically, the addresses Sebastien has seen were "nothing more" than
uninitialized memory.

The underlaying issue was that accept() wants a socklen_t *addrlen parameter.
The original code created a size_t variable to store the size of the sockaddr
structure where information like the IP address is to be written. This value has
been, correctly, set to 16. It was then casted to (socklen_t) and given to accept().

The problem, however, is that socklen_t is defined as a 4 byte integer, while
size_t is at least 8 bytes wide on ppc64. (I highly recommend reading man 2
accept and the in the man page included Linus Torvald rant on that matter!)

This is "not a big deal" on little endian machines, as casting size_t to
socklen_t there will only cut the upper 4 bytes off and leave you with the lower
4 bytes -- which is just fine, as struct sockaddr isn't bigger than 2^32-1 bytes
anyway. 16 stays 16 in that case.

Doing the same thing on big endian machines, however, cuts the lower 4 bytes off
and leaves you with the upper 4 bytes. As the original value was "16", the upper
4 bytes were all zero.

Thus, zero was passed as the addrlen parameter to accept().

As the addrlen parameter defines how many bytes may be written to the sockaddr
structure given to accept(), the function didn't even touch addr. Hence, addr
was left in its original, un-initialized state.

It was an endianness issue after all, but not exactly where anyone would have
expected it.

The fix is trivial -- don't use size_t as the type of the addrlen variable, but
socklen_t, which will also remove the need of casting.


Mike: I hope the patch applies fine. I have quiltimported all other patches
before, so my patch is based on the patched nx-libs repository.

Ha! :-D

@Mihai: Thanks for helping Sebastien out.

@Sebastien: Once your customer's appliance is ready, feel free to add a
description of it at
http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:deployment-stories:start (you will
need a Wiki account for this). We're always happy to list success
