Andrew,

A security issue has been noted with lftp:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1180209

This is the patch for 4.6.1:

http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/lftp.git/plain/lftp-4.6.1-auto-confirm.patch

TIA,

Yaakov

Thanks, I wasn't aware of that.  New release coming out shortly.

lftp will now no longer automatically store the host key fingerprints of
unverified ssh servers.  That's good, but it means that "cygport up" will now
fail (probably mysteriously) for maintainers who are connecting by ssh/sftp to
cygwin.com for the first time.  New maintainers will need to connect by regular
sftp to cygwin.com one time first, to store the host key fingerprint in
known_hosts.  After that "cygport up" will work.  The cygport documentation
should be updated to say this.
