...one restarts syslogd and forgets to recreate the hardlinks (needed on FreeBSD anyways). Are there any alternatives to this method ? Are there any patches thoughts for supplementary logging of some sort of sshd that can work around these logging constraints ? ---Mike -- ------------------- Mike Tancsa, tel +1 519 651 3400 Sentex Communications, mike at sentex.net Providing Internet services since 1994 www.sentex.net Cambridge, Ontario Canada http://www.tancsa.com/

.... Without leaving the server at debug2 logging level, is there a way to find out if I am hitting application limits vs OS limits ?

Hi, I'm new to this list. For some years I've used CryptoSticks and YubiKeys to authenticate to SSH on the client side. Now I wondered if the same also worked on the server side. The closest I found was this old thread from 2012: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/openssh/dev/54825 How did this progress further? Is it in the packages in the debian repositories yet? And is there some

Login seems to be ignoring my /etc/login.access settings. I have the following entries (see below) in my login.access, yet any new user (not in the wheel group) is still allowed to login.

Am I the only person to be seeing this log message from sshd: fatal: cipher_init: EVP_CipherInit: set key failed for aes128-cbc [preauth] ? (security/openssh-portable, with HPN patches and MIT Kerberos, although Kerberos is not actually configured on this server.) A work-around is to disable aes128-cbc in sshd_config, but it would be nice not to have my logs spammed with this. Currently

We still have MD5 as our default password hash, even though known-hash attacks against MD5 are relatively easy these days. We've supported SHA256 and SHA512 for many years now, so how about making SHA512 the default instead of MD5, like on most Linux distributions?
