openssh unix announce - Nov 2000 - ANNOUNCE: openssh-2.3.0p1

This is to announce the release of portable openssh-2.3.0p1. This
release includes many new features and bug fixes. This is a
recommended upgrade if you are using 2.2.0p1 or an older release.

Portable OpenSSH is available from one of the many mirrors listed at
http://www.openssh.com/portable.html

Some of the more notable features include:

- Rijndael support for SSH2. Use the "Ciphers" configuration directive
  to enable it. (Markus Friedl <markus at cvs.openbsd.org>

- Cygwin support (Corinna Vinschen <vinschen at cygnus.com>)

- sftp-server support (Markus Friedl <markus at cvs.openbsd.org>)

- SSH1 single-des support for interop with Cisco routers. This cipher 
  is never enabled automatically, you have to either specify "-c des" 
  or enable it using "Cipher des" in a config file. (Markus Friedl
  <markus at cvs.openbsd.org>

- Support expired password change through PAM (Steve VanDevender's
  <stevev at darkwing.uoregon.edu>)

- Better compatibility with buggy SSH implementations (Markus Friedl
  <markus at cvs.openbsd.org>

- S/key support for SSH2, based on kbd-interactive auth (Markus Friedl
  <markus at cvs.openbsd.org> and mkiernan at avantgo.com

- scp now supports "-o" option (Ben Lindstron <mouring at
pconline.com>)

Please refer to the ChangeLog for a full list of features and bugfixes.

Regards,
Damien Miller

hi

i just upgraded OpenSSH to v2.3.0p1 on Redhat linux v6.2. the server seems
to be working fine but there are a few strange messages in the log files:

... sshd[1953]: WARNING: /usr/local/openssh2/etc/primes does not exist, \
	using old prime

and

... sshd[1976]: error: channel 0: internal error: we do not read, but \
	chan_read_failed for istate 8

does someone know what's causing these?

also, the sftp-server seems to be logging an awful lot of debugging
messages to the server logs.

best regards,
