        Nifty new feature is the connection multi-plexing.
        \_ What is that?
           \_ Once you start one connection to a remote system, other
              connections will use the same key pair so you don't have
              to pay the cost of a new DH exchange (at least this is
              the impression I got from reading the mailing list)

8/29    There was once a CSUA web page which runs an SSH client for logging
        on to soda.  Does that page still exist?  Can someone remind me of the
        URL please?  Thx.

    \_ That would be because we've yet to set them up afaik. Steven *does* have
    a job after all. The idea is that we want a separate computer mounting the
    web directories, so that if an exploit compromises the webserver, the shell
    server (soda) itself will be insulated from the attack.

12/9    Another idea for the CSUA that lets you spend money and maybe get some
    cool toys. Instead of buying a beefy server (like say, a massive server
    with 20 386DX processors), buy a few cheap machines (like the ones
    mentioned below) that have good disks and work on failover / load
    balancing. A netscaler or other piece of hardware is complete overkill,
    but maybe hacking an OpenBSD box could do the trick. The idea is that

OpenSSH is a 100% complete SSH protocol version 13, 15 and 20 implementation and includes sftp client and server support. We would like to thank the OpenSSH community for their continued support to the project, especially those who contributed source and bought T-shirts or posters. eu Changes since OpenSSH 39: ============================ * ssh now allows the optional specification of an address to bind to in port forwarding connections (local, remote and dynamic). Please refer to the documentation for the -L and -R options in the ssh manual page and the LocalForward and RemoteForward options in the ssh_config manpage. To allow client specified bind addresses for remote (-R) port forwardings, the server must be configured with "GatewayPorts clientspecified". This option improves user privacy by hiding which hosts have been visited. At present this option is off by default, but may be turned on once it receives sufficient testing. These are particularly useful for managing known_hosts files with hashed hostnames. Ther server will now warn in advance for both account and password expiry. Several bugs have been fixed and a new "command mode" has been added to allow the control of a running multiplexing master connection, including checking that it is up, determining its PID and asking it to exit. This prevents ssh from being unable to restore terminal modes (not normally a problem on OpenBSD but common with -Portable on POSIX platforms). Currently this is only for password, keyboard-interactive and challenge/response authentication methods and only on Linux and HP-UX.

OpenSSH Portable Release for Linux/Solaris/etc Portable OpenSSH Normal OpenSSH development produces a very small, secure, and easy to maintain version for the OpenBSD project. The OpenSSH Portability Team takes that pure version and adds portability code so that OpenSSH can run on many other operating systems Unfortunately, in particular since OpenSSH does authentication, it runs into a lot of differences between Unix operating systems. The portable OpenSSH follows development of the official version, but releases are not synchronized. The official OpenBSD source will never use the p suffix, but will instead increment the version number when they hit stable spots in their development. The following files describe the development efforts of the OpenSSH portability development team. Portability ChangeLog Installation instructions FAQ Daily snapshots are available in the snapshots/ directory on the mirror sites Developers Bleeding-edge nightly snapshots are available in the snapshots/ directory on the mirror sites . The portable releases of OpenSSH are also available by anonymous CVS.

OpenSSH for OpenBSD OpenSSH for OpenBSD Since OpenSSH is developed by the OpenBSD group, OpenSSH is included in the base operating system, starting at OpenBSD release 26 So theres nothing to install or add to your system. However, due to newer features or other patches, you may wish to upgrade. You can download the current OpenSSH release from these ftp mirrors .
