Setup Remote Access Key Error

[Dathorn_ADT]

Whenever I go to setup a remote access key and generate a new key I get:

Wide character in subroutine entry at /usr/local/cpanel/bin/mkaccesshash line 10.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: Could someone even show me what their mkaccesshash script is or attach it so I can compare the two? Also tell me what OS you are running and version of cPanel / WHM.

Please someone? I just need to see the script on your server and it's completely standard so it's not like I'll be getting any information about your server.

Our's looks like this

[BEGIN]

#!/usr/bin/perl

use Digest::MD5 qw(md5 md5_hex md5_base64);
$hash = '';
for ($i=1;$i&30;$i++) {
open(URAND,&/dev/urandom&
read(URAND,$random,4096);
close(URAND);
if ($i % 1 == 0) {
$hash = $hash . &\n& . md5_hex($random);
} else {
$hash = $hash . md5_hex($random);
}
}

if ($ENV{'REMOTE_USER'} ne &root&amp {
setuid($ENV{'REMOTE_USER'});
}

my $homedir = gethomedir($ENV{'REMOTE_USER'});
$homedir =~ /(.*)/;
$homedir = $1;

open(PHASH,&&$homedir/.accesshash&
print PHASH &$hash&;
close(PHASH);


sub setuid {
($user) = @_;
($name,$passwd,$uid,$gid,
$quota,$comment,$gcos,$dir,$shell,$expire) = getpwnam($user);

if( $uid eq && ) {
print &Security error, cannot get uid for $user\n&;
exit();
}

if ( ! ($( = int($gid)) ) {
print &error setting gid\n&;
exit;
}
if ( ! ($) = &$gid $gid&amp ) {
print &error setting gid\n&;
exit;
}
if (! (($& = $uid) && ($& = $uid)) ) {
die &error setting uid ($uid) [$user]\n&;
}
}


sub gethomedir {
my($user) = $_[0];
if ($user eq &&amp { return &&; }
my($homedir);
open(PASSWD,&/etc/passwd&
while(&PASSWD&amp {
if (/^$user:/) {
(undef,undef,undef,undef,undef,$homedir,undef) = split(/:/, $_, 7);
close(PASSWD);
return $homedir;
}
}
close(PASSWD);

}

[BEGIN END]

Wonderful. Your script matches mine exactly. What OS, cPanel, and Perl are you running? I'm thinking it might be a problem with Red HAt 8.0 or Perl 5.8.0 or even the Digest::MD5 module that is installed but I'm not sure.

[dgbaker]

Red Hat 7.3
Perl 5.6.1
Cpanel 5.3.0-EDGE 62

any updates on this one? I am using redhat 8 and i am having the same issue

[sky]

hmm it seems from my readings ... it has to be associated with language or character type ........

anyone can shed a light on this one ? i need to get the key up so that i can integrate it with modern bill

[sky]

ok this is what i got. After searching and checking ... it is the $LANG env var. ...

******** cut cut**************
root@daylight [/usr/local/cpanel/bin]# ./mkaccesshash
Wide character in subroutine entry at ./mkaccesshash line 10.
root@daylight [/usr/local/cpanel/bin]# echo $LANG
en_US.UTF-8
root@daylight [/usr/local/cpanel/bin]# export LANG=en_US
root@daylight [/usr/local/cpanel/bin]# ./mkaccesshash
Security error, cannot get uid for
root@daylight [/usr/local/cpanel/bin]#
******** cut cut**************

notice how it works after i set $LANG to en_US. This is on a test server and it is running Redhat 8.0.

let me see if setting the $LANG for web user will help

[sky]

anyone can guide me where to set it pls .. thanx

[sky]

ok solved this issue!

for REDHAT 8.0 users
in file /etc/sysconfig/i18n

set the LANG parameter to en_US

example:
LANG=&en_US&
SUPPORTED=&en_US.UTF-8:en_US:en&
SYSFONT=&latarcyrheb-sun16&



to verify, just check phpinfo() under Environment. It works for me!

[djboston]

I have no idea how to fix it.Can someone please walk me through this? PLEASE

[sky]

ok boston .... here it is

ok solved this issue!

1) ssh into your server as root
2) do an edit with vi or pico on the file /etc/sysconfig/i18n
3) You will see line LANG=&en_US.UTF-8&
4) change that to LANG=&en_US&
5) save the file and reboot your machine
