similar to: AllowHosts support in sshd missing.

Hello all, I'd like to see sshd_config directive AllowHosts implemented. This is about the only SSH 1.2.27 (etc.) thing not supported by OpenSSH. The reason for this would be drop-in compatibility. Sure, you can do about the same thing with hosts.allow, but the syntax is a bit different and you'd have to modify sshd_config and you lose the possibility to have multiple security layers

I'd like to see a feature of the commercial ssh in openssh: AllowHosts xxx.yyy.xxx.yyy *.domain.net DenyHosts xxx.yyy.xxx.* name.domain.net This allows or denies connects from certain machines (including wildcard matching). Is there any chance for this feature to be included? No, we don't want to use tcp-wrapper for this. Bye.

Hello all, OpenSSL 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 are incompatible, causing weird errors. I'd like to get a check for this in the RPMs. However, now I want to make sure whether anyone has experienced problems with RHL 0.9.5a OpenSSL libs vs. the 0.9.5a ones provided at openbsd.org? Ie: is it enough to check like '= 0.9.5a' or do you have to check '= 0.9.5a-xyz'. -- Pekka Savola

Hello all, Compiling 2.1.1p1 on my RedHat Linux 6.2 w/ 2.2.16 kernel seems to cause errors from the start.. ---- gcc -O2 -m486 -fno-strength-reduce -Wall -DETCDIR=\"/etc/ssh\" -DSSH_PROGRAM=\"/usr/bin/ssh\" -DSSH_ASKPASS_DEFAULT=\"/usr/libexec/ssh/ssh-askpass\" -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -c -o bsd-base64.o bsd-base64.c In file included from defines.h:261, from

Hello all, I tried OpenSSH versions 2.1.1p4, 2.2.0p1 and the latest snapshot briefly on 64-bit Irix 6.5.7f an 6.5.9m. Both times, no matter what I do, I'll get 'PRNG initialization failed -- exiting'. This happens with ssh-keygen (the keys aren't even generated yet, ssh binary etc.) It's clear that Irix etc. don't have a proper entropy pool like *BSD and Linux do, but

Hello all, I just found a bug a nice bug that can be turned into a real feature on systems (usually Linux) that are built with --with-ipv4-default. If you enable IPv6 in kernel, and enable both listenaddress 0.0.0.0 and ::, sshd will error out 'address family not supported'. However, you can work around this error by starting sshd with 'sshd -4 -6'. As far as man page is

Hello all, Using 20000930 snapshot on Irix 6.5.9m. SFTP connections with SSH 2.3.0 (Windows) die right out. Similar configuration and the same version works fine in Red Hat Linux 6.2. This is probably related to 'sftp' thread 7-10 days ago. The error messages captured in debug mode: --- debug1: server_input_channel_open: ctype session rchan 1 win 100000 max 8192 debug1: open session

Hello all, It seems that RhostsAuthentication does not work on non-default port no matter what when connecting from OpenSSH (2.1.1, 2.2.0 tried) either with protocol 1 or protocol 2 (shouldn't work either..). _However_ when connecting with SSH.COM Ltd's ssh, RhostsAuthentication works just fine! Checking the port number of ssh client you can see that OpenSSH doesn't assign

Hello all, sshd configuration file options change from one release to another. If you forget updating sshd_config, sshd will not start. This is especially painful for update scripts etc. where you can't do e.g. 'sshd -p 2022' to see if it's okay. May I suggest some option, e.g. sshd -t, which would test config files and other obvious issues and return an errorcode if something

Hi, I'd like to bring this up again as there has been discussion about 2.4.0 patches. Getting something this big in would probably delay the release too much, but something similar should be considered for 2.5 then. A lot of people would like some control over port forwarding. Florian Weimer's patches (http://cert.uni-stuttgart.de/files/openssh/) are one, rather "big"

Hello all, Very recently, djm added compability patch so that aes/rijndael encryption problems could be avoided when talking to broken server/client; and you wouldn't have to toggle off the protocols yourself. Might this be a candidate for 2.5.2p2 or the like? This would be helpful when there are a lot of broken, 2.3.0 and like, systems. -- Pekka Savola "Tell me of

Hello all, I'm using the attached patch. With it, if you add OPTIONS="-6" in /etc/sysconfig/sshd (this kind of sysconfig/<name> is a pretty normal RHL practice), then you can enable ipv4 and ipv6 on RHL without problems and without having to modify the init.d/sshd script. This or something like should IMO be added. Removing 'noreplace' from sshd_config

ChangeLog: 20010429 - (bal) Updated INSTALL. PCRE moved to a new place. - (djm) Release OpenSSH-2.9p1 However, OpenSSH 2.9p1 is not on the official FTP sites, at least yet? -- Pekka Savola "Tell me of difficulties surmounted, Netcore Oy not those you stumble over and fall" Systems.

Hi, Running openssh-2.9p2 on Linux. If server is run with 'sshd -6' (to enable ipv6 easily on server end), ie all IPv4 are represented as mapped addresses, port forwarding will not work; just running plain ol' IPv4 fixes this of course. The server error, when forwarding from the client '143:localhost:143' and connecting to localhost 143 is: debug1:

Hi, attached is a patch by Chris Faylor <cgf at cygnus.com> relative to 2.2.0p1. Description: OpenSSH does not allow port gatewaying by default. This means that only the local host can access forwarded ports. Adding "GatewayPorts yes" to .ssh/config usually does this job. Unfortunately, OpenSSH does not recognize the same hosts.allow/ hosts.deny options as ssh.com's sshd

Hi, working on tightening our network (somewhat) today, I found that OpenSSH doesn't seem to have the "AllowSHosts" directive (in sshd_config) that Commercial SSH (at least 1.2.25 & up) has. Now I wonder whether that hasn't been implemented yet, or has been dropped for a certain reason. I find this very useful for what I want to achieve - inside the company network,

Hi, In a mail about two weeks ago, I brought up an idea: --- How SSH makes this easier is that you only have to sync the authorized_keys2 database to root account's .ssh/ every time new admin comes in/leaves the house. This can even be automatized rather easily. A more modular hack would be using authorized_keys2 _directory_, and the keys in there would all be counted as authorized. Thus

Hello all, I wonder if this is an oversight/bug/feature, but here it goes. It seems that in OpenSSH 2.1, 'w' (or who) command may print out something like this: ---- USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT pekkas ttyp1 - 3:10am 0.00s 0.08s 0.03s w ---- 2.0beta1 was the one I used before, and that printed FROM field properly.
