openssh 1:5.9p1-1ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

openssh (1:5.9p1-1ubuntu1) precise; urgency=low

  * Resynchronise with Debian.  Remaining changes:
    - Add support for registering ConsoleKit sessions on login.
    - Drop openssh-blacklist and openssh-blacklist-extra to Suggests.
    - Convert to Upstart.  The init script is still here for the benefit of
      people running sshd in chroots.
    - Install apport hook.
    - Add mention of ssh-keygen in ssh connect warning.

openssh (1:5.9p1-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release (http://www.openssh.org/txt/release-5.9).
    - Introduce sandboxing of the pre-auth privsep child using an optional
      sshd_config(5) "UsePrivilegeSeparation=sandbox" mode that enables
      mandatory restrictions on the syscalls the privsep child can perform.
    - Add new SHA256-based HMAC transport integrity modes from
      http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-dbider-sha2-mac-for-ssh-02.txt.
    - The pre-authentication sshd(8) privilege separation slave process now
      logs via a socket shared with the master process, avoiding the need to
      maintain /dev/log inside the chroot (closes: #75043, #429243,
      #599240).
    - ssh(1) now warns when a server refuses X11 forwarding (closes:
      #504757).
    - sshd_config(5)'s AuthorizedKeysFile now accepts multiple paths,
      separated by whitespace (closes: #76312).  The authorized_keys2
      fallback is deprecated but documented (closes: #560156).
    - ssh(1) and sshd(8): set IPv6 traffic class from IPQoS, as well as IPv4
      ToS/DSCP (closes: #498297).
    - ssh-add(1) now accepts keys piped from standard input.  E.g. "ssh-add
      - < /path/to/key" (closes: #229124).
    - Clean up lost-passphrase text in ssh-keygen(1) (closes: #444691).
    - Say "required" rather than "recommended" in unprotected-private-key
      warning (LP: #663455).
  * Update OpenSSH FAQ to revision 1.112.

Binary packages built by this source

openssh-client: secure shell (SSH) client, for secure access to remote machines

 This is the portable version of OpenSSH, a free implementation of
 the Secure Shell protocol as specified by the IETF secsh working
 group.
 .
 Ssh (Secure Shell) is a program for logging into a remote machine
 and for executing commands on a remote machine.
 It provides secure encrypted communications between two untrusted
 hosts over an insecure network. X11 connections and arbitrary TCP/IP
 ports can also be forwarded over the secure channel.
 It can be used to provide applications with a secure communication
 channel.
 .
 This package provides the ssh, scp and sftp clients, the ssh-agent
 and ssh-add programs to make public key authentication more convenient,
 and the ssh-keygen, ssh-keyscan, ssh-copy-id and ssh-argv0 utilities.
 .
 In some countries it may be illegal to use any encryption at all
 without a special permit.
 .
 ssh replaces the insecure rsh, rcp and rlogin programs, which are
 obsolete for most purposes.

openssh-client-udeb: secure shell client for the Debian installer

 This is the portable version of OpenSSH, a free implementation of
 the Secure Shell protocol as specified by the IETF secsh working
 group.
 .
 This package provides the ssh client for use in debian-installer.

openssh-server: secure shell (SSH) server, for secure access from remote machines

 This is the portable version of OpenSSH, a free implementation of
 the Secure Shell protocol as specified by the IETF secsh working
 group.
 .
 Ssh (Secure Shell) is a program for logging into a remote machine
 and for executing commands on a remote machine.
 It provides secure encrypted communications between two untrusted
 hosts over an insecure network. X11 connections and arbitrary TCP/IP
 ports can also be forwarded over the secure channel.
 It can be used to provide applications with a secure communication
 channel.
 .
 This package provides the sshd server.
 .
 In some countries it may be illegal to use any encryption at all
 without a special permit.
 .
 sshd replaces the insecure rshd program, which is obsolete for most
 purposes.

openssh-server-udeb: secure shell server for the Debian installer

 This is the portable version of OpenSSH, a free implementation of
 the Secure Shell protocol as specified by the IETF secsh working
 group.
 .
 This package provides the sshd server for use in debian-installer.
 Since it is expected to be used in specialized situations (e.g. S/390
 installs with no console), it does not provide any configuration.

ssh: secure shell client and server (metapackage)

 This metapackage is a convenient way to install both the OpenSSH client
 and the OpenSSH server. It provides nothing in and of itself, so you
 may remove it if nothing depends on it.

ssh-askpass-gnome: interactive X program to prompt users for a passphrase for ssh-add

 This has been split out of the main openssh-client package so that
 openssh-client does not need to depend on GTK+.
 .
 You probably want the ssh-askpass package instead, but this is
 provided to add to your choice and/or confusion.

ssh-krb5: secure shell client and server (transitional package)

 This is a transitional package depending on the regular Debian OpenSSH
 client and server, which now support GSSAPI natively. It will add the
 necessary GSSAPI options to the server configuration file. You can
 remove it once the upgrade is complete and nothing depends on it.
