nc-ng does not open the file while nedit-ng does (through an ssh connection). #350

Hi,

I'm not sure this is an nedit-ng issue but since a few weeks (after I've upgrading from Mageia8 to Mageia9 and using commit version 450ad1733b74829c5cddd70999611e5b2c11565b), I can't open any file using nc-ng. What I do : 1) ssh remote 2) su -l root 3) nc-ng file => the file does not open, no error message 4) nedit-ng file => the file opens.

If I try to open a file without the "su 'l root" command, I don't have any issue. Has the root account some restrictions using nc-ng ?

Do you have any idea about this issue ? This was working fine till a few weeks ago.

Regards.

Xuo.

Hi,

After I've created another account, nc-ng works fine. It looks it comes from the root account. After I've removed the directory .config/nedit-ng, I get the same issue. So it really seems to come from some root permissions.

Hi,

I think I've found the issue. I was coming from the fact that the user "root" had already an nc-ng session open locally on the remote station. Then the new nc-ng command was trying to open the file on the remote host itself but not through the ssh connection. After I've killed the local session of nc-ng, it is working fine.

Regards.

Xuo.
