I am wrapping up a Linux/C programming assignment that requires several small programs for encrypting and decrypting text. There is a bash grading script which will be used to assess the performance of my programs. The script runs fine on my local machine and all of my tests pass, but when I run everything on my University's server via SSH, the script is not behaving the same. I am fairly certain the error exists somewhere in my C code, because no other students are having this issue. The 4 main programs consist of 2 daemons which wait for clients to connect via sockets, and the two clients. There is a daemon/client pair for handling encryption, and another for handling decryption.
Here is a screenshot of the test script output on my local machine:
And here is a screenshot of what happens with the same files on the remote server:
As you can see, in the 4th and 5th tests (where the program's output should read), it's instead showing "ssIgnore this message". In later tests (not pictured) there is another message that reads "ddServer to client message". This text appears nowhere in my code or the grading script, so it must be server-side. I'm going to hold off on posting code at the moment, in the hopes that someone might be able to help me narrow down the issue-- at this stage I'd be posting entire programs and that's not very efficient. Thanks!
