Any Comments on the above issue ?

When you say session not starting, what output are you actually getting?

Please include your sudosh.conf as well.

I've just tested both the 1.0.7 release and current git head with a fresh install of ubuntu 18.04 and both work as expected, so there are some critical details missing.

Putty Windows just started and got vanishing without any output .

sudosh.conf

Sudosh Configuration File

logdir = /var/log/sudosh
default shell = /bin/bash
delimiter = -
syslog.priority = LOG_INFO
syslog.facility = LOG_LOCAL2
clearenvironment = no

Allow Sudosh to execute -c arguments? If so, what?

-c arg allow = scp
-c arg allow = rsync

====================

apt-get install autotools-dev libtool automake gcc libtool-bin

apart from above dependencies do I need to install any other libraries ?

[squash]

Are you using sudosh as a login shell? if so, have you added it to /etc/shells and do you see anything in the system log?

Also if so, try using it normally aka with sudo: sudo -u root sudosh

No additional dependencies are required if it was able to build.

/usr/local/bin/sudosh is already there in /etc/shells file , Also I have change the users login shell to /usr/local/bin/sudosh . Post changing shell session is not starting , It disappear like flash .

Try doing fresh install , while running make command end up below error

May need to also apt-get install sysconftool m4.
On RPM I only need so far: ( but my build fails for other reasons: )
BuildRequires: m4
BuildRequires: automake
BuildRequires: gcc
BuildRequires: libtool
