Okay, I've just committed OpenSSH 2.1 to -current. It was a difficult merge because the OpenSSH guys basically ripped apart the source code when they were rearranging it for SSH2 support, so I hope I put all of our local changes back in the right places. I've tested this as much as I could locally, but not all of the possibilities. New in this version: * SSH2 support. See www.openssh.com for interoperability details with other SSH2 clients (I tested it with the ssh2 port and it seemed to work well). See /usr/src/crypto/openssh/README.openssh2 for some brief installation/operation notes, as well as the manpages. Note that if you don't create a DSA key manually then one will be created for you on next boot if you have sshd_enable=yes in your rc.conf * OPIE support. This only works with the SSH1 protocol, unfortunately. I still need to improve the way the sshd generates fake challenges for nonexistent users, but it makes some attempt at present. * Kerberos support is also limited to SSH1. * No longer a dependency on RSA (and therefore rsaref for US folks): SSH2 can handle DSA keys which have no patent or usage restrictions. This means we could now enable SSH2 out of the box in a crypto installation, with no post-installation configuration requirements. We now have a truly free SSH client/server! Please let me know of any problems you find in the new code.
