Re: SSH error messages not shown

Hi,

When an libssh2 call fails, pgAdmin III just shows the error code and
nothing else. Consider the following patch - this is what I created
while wondering why my hostkeys don't work:

diff --git a/pgadmin/utils/sshTunnel.cpp b/pgadmin/utils/sshTunnel.cpp
index fd80214..e15f764 100644

LogSSHTunnelErrors(wxString::Format(_("SSH error: Authentication by
identity file failed with error code %d"), rc), GetId());
+                               char* errmsg;
+                               int errmsg_len;
+                               libssh2_session_last_error(m_session,
&errmsg, &errmsg_len, 0);
+                               wxString errmsg_s(errmsg, wxConvLibc);

LogSSHTunnelErrors(wxString::Format(_("SSH error: Authentication by
identity file failed with error code %d [%s]"), rc, errmsg_s.c_str()),
GetId());
                               Cleanup();
+                               free(errmsg);
                               return false;
                       }
               }

Perhaps we could use this kind of routines wherever rc is being checked?
