[ANNOUNCEMENT] Update: OpenSSH-2.1.1p4-3 for Cygwin 1.1.3

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Update: OpenSSH-2.1.1p4-3 for Cygwin 1.1.3

[Corinna Vinschen]

I want to announce the updated OpenSSH version 2.1.1p4-3.

Changes:
- The previous binaries have used the path /usr/X11R6.3/bin/xauth by
  mistake. I changed that to the preferred path /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth.
- Eliminated a check for euid 0 in sshconnect which still could
  prevent rhosts authentication.

This port uses all new features of Cygwin 1.1.3 so it's not backward
compatible to older Cygwin versions.

The binary distribution is compiled for being installed under
/usr/local as the previous versions. However, there's a README under
/usr/doc/Cygwin which is the same file as the below mentioned
openssh-2.1.1p4.README in the download URL.

======================================================================
Please read the README!
======================================================================

There's a small script, named

	/usr/local/bin/ssh-config

which is intended for users who install OpenSSH for the first time.
It simplifies the first usage by creating the needed key files for
the host and the current user. Just start it after unpacking the
binary tar archive. The script is not part of the source archive.

This version provides SSH version 2 protocol but it's still
experimental so do not rely on complete and correct functionality.

SSH protocol versions 1.3 and 1.5 are still part of that version, so you
shouldn't have problems in communicating with other SSH-1.2.X versions.

You will find the port on

ftp://ftp.franken.de/pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin/porters/Vinschen_Corinna/V1.1.3

   openssh-2.1.1p4-3.tar.gz      binary distribution
   openssh-2.1.1p4.README        README file
   openssh-2.1.1p4-3-src.tar.gz  sources including Cygwin diffs

Compiling the sources requires the openSSL-0.9.5 port from the same URL.

Please send any request regarding that port to the mailing list
mailto:cygwin@sources.redhat.com

Corinna,

Might I make a suggestion for future updates?  It would be nice if the ssh*config files
were named something else (sshd_config.example/ssh_config.example).  This would make it
easier to upgrade to new releases since we could just extract your archive in c:\cygwin.
The way it is setup now my config files get overwritten each time.

Thanks.

BTW: That change is suggested by Norbert Bladt <Norbert.Bladt@adi.ch>.

Thanks,

setup.exe (v2.3) bug [Was: Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Update: OpenSSH-2.1.1p4-3 for Cygwin 1.1.3

[Charles S. Wilson]

Setup can't distinguish between these two packages:
  currently installed: openssh-2.1.1p4-2
  trying to install:   openssh-2.1.1p4-3

I put the new package in an empty directory with setup.exe, and ran
setup (install from current directory). I got the following "Selection
Dialog"

Current         New              Package
---------      --------          -----------
2.1.1p4-3  ->   Keep             openssh

(That's *not* the current version; I verified by checking
/etc/setup/installed.db myself). Clicking on the '->' has no effect. I
can't install the new package without deleting the openssh-2.1.1p4-2
line in installed.db.

I think, I will do so. Thanks for the hint. The next version will
contain the files as example files which will be renamed to the
correct names by ssh-config if it doesn't find the original ones.

It can (it shows the whole version number in the chooser) but
apparently the logic for building the fake setup.ini is broken.  I'll
look into it (unless you want to).
