openssh 1:6.5p1-1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

openssh (1:6.5p1-1) unstable; urgency=medium


  * New upstream release (http://www.openssh.com/txt/release-6.5,
    LP: #1275068):
    - ssh(1): Add support for client-side hostname canonicalisation using a
      set of DNS suffixes and rules in ssh_config(5).  This allows
      unqualified names to be canonicalised to fully-qualified domain names
      to eliminate ambiguity when looking up keys in known_hosts or checking
      host certificate names (closes: #115286).
  * Switch to git; adjust Vcs-* fields.
  * Convert to git-dpm, and drop source package documentation associated
    with the old bzr/quilt patch handling workflow.
  * Drop ssh-vulnkey and the associated ssh/ssh-add/sshd integration code,
    leaving only basic configuration file compatibility, since it has been
    nearly six years since the original vulnerability and this code is not
    likely to be of much value any more (closes: #481853, #570651).  See
    https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2013/09/msg00240.html for my full
    reasoning.
  * Add OpenPGP signature checking configuration to watch file (thanks,
    Daniel Kahn Gillmor; closes: #732441).
  * Add the pam_keyinit session module, to create a new session keyring on
    login (closes: #734816).
  * Incorporate default path changes from shadow 1:4.0.18.1-8, removing
    /usr/bin/X11 (closes: #644521).
  * Generate ED25519 host keys on fresh installations.  Upgraders who wish
    to add such host keys should manually add 'HostKey
    /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key' to /etc/ssh/sshd_config and run
    'ssh-keygen -q -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key -N "" -t ed25519'.
  * Drop long-obsolete "SSH now uses protocol 2 by default" section from
    README.Debian.
  * Add systemd support (thanks, Sven Joachim; closes: #676830).

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.
