Hi, protocolkeepalives sends ssh_msg_ignore, which the ssh2 server handles incorrectly (i.e. it produces some output to syslog, instead of ignoring the packet): Jul 9 11:58:07 ren sshd[16580]: error: Hm, dispatch protocol error: type 32 plen 4 This patch implements a highly advanced function to ignore these packets ;) Matthew -------------- next part -------------- An embedded and

Hi, Debian have #defined out this function in entropy.c for some time (since it causes things to break too often, given I don't maintain openssl). Does it serve a useful function security-wise?

Hi, A bug I've had reported is that scp doesn't work with large files (Debian bug number 106809). The problem seems to be scp.c:504: if ((fd = open(name, O_RDONLY, 0)) < 0) Is there some reason why making that if ((fd = open(name, O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE, 0)) < 0) would break things? It seems a simple fix to me... Thanks, Matthew -- "At least you know where you are

Looks like I''ll be in Austin from Tuesday (late) night until Saturday morning. Any Puppeteers in Austin who want to get together?

Hi, I have recently taken over as Debian maintainer for ssh. This means you're going to be getting lots of mail from me in the near future :-) I'm aiming to be a little more active than the last maintainer, but the Debian packages were really out of date, so I've quite a lot of work (and probably some old bugs) to deal with. Anyhow, onto the first question. ssh these days uses

Hi, It seems from the source code that there are a couple of quirks with this option: firstly, in the code it's mis-spelt as "challenge_reponse_authentication" and secondly, the default for the client (in readconf.c) seems to be off, whereas for the server (servconf.c) seems to be on: readconf.c: if (options->challenge_reponse_authentication == -1) readconf.c:

Hi, This patch (mostly my work, except for protocolkeepalives, which rjk at greenend.org.uk wrote for 2.5, and I forward-ported) came out our usage for VPN tunnels of ssh, where it was useful for ssh to notice if the server went away. It includes documentation, and is pretty self-explanatory. Matthew -------------- next part -------------- An embedded and charset-unspecified text was

Hi, Some systems (sysvinit-using ones, at least, such as linux) do not have /etc/rc, so the references to it in ssh-keygen.1 are not very helpful. Here's a quick patch to remove those references.

Hi, ssh-keygen is unable to change version 2 keys' comments (this was true in 2.9p2, and the changelog doesn't make me think this has changed), so I think this should be documented.

Hi, The following patch does two things (which you may choose to take separatly if you don't like one or t'other). Firstly, I add a -1 and -2 option, since a) it's convenient b) people keep asking for it c) it's hardly a big fix, nor does it break backwards compatibility and d) I don't accept any slippery slope arguments. Secondly, I check for and ignore filenames with \n in
