Hi Damien, I see in your asia bsdcon presentation you mentioned the possibility of storing host keys in PKCS #11. I'm interested in using a usb rsa fob for host keys and am interested in this feature. What's the current status? As you said: root compromise != persistent hostkey theft. THanks much, Ben

It seems (at least for me) the patches on ftp.freebsd.org are out of date for the 03:12 security advisory (openssh). ftp2.freebsd.org has them fine. I'm wondering if this is a mirror issue or perhaps round-robin DNS problem? What compounds the issue is that right now the old openssh 3.7 patches are there (on ftp.freebsd.org), but not the 3.7.1 patches (which can be found on

A paper about the performance work done on the cryptographic subsystem was presented at the Usenix BSDCon 2003 conference and received the best paper award. NetBSD recently imported the cryptographic subsystem. _________________________________________________________________ Device_t locking Contact: Warner Losh <imp@FreeBSD.org> A number of races have been identified in loc...

Everyone: We're starting to see a rash of password guessing attacks via SSH on all of our exposed BSD servers which are running an SSH daemon. They're coming from multiple addresses, which makes us suspect that they're being carried out by a network of "bots" rather than a single attacker. But wait... there's more. The interesting thing about these attacks is that
