[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: OpenSSH-5.1p1-6 (-7)

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: OpenSSH-5.1p1-6 (-7)

[Corinna Vinschen]

I've just updated the version of OpenSSH to 5.1p1-6.

This is a bugfix release which fixes a bug in the ssh-host-config script
which stumbles over user names with a substring of "ssh" in them and
thinks that ssh processes are still running.

There's an equivalent new 5.1p1-7 release for Cygwin 1.7 testers.

Yes, that makes sense.  Zero or one was probably the intent.  Thanks for
pointing it out.

Though the trailing $ probably still makes sense to restrict it to
matching only ssh or sshd processes.  grep -qP '/sshd?$'

It's possible that Corinna was looking for zero or more d's.

So, something like grep -qP '/sshd?' would accommodate that.

Is the intent now to catch only processes named 'sshd'?  If so, the
current "grep -q 'sshd*$'" may still be a little too loose.  For example, 
it could match stuff like "/home/user/flosshdd".  Ok, maybe not likely, 
but still it would cause the script to end in an error.

Assuming we can depend on "ps -ef" always printing full path names without 
any arguments, then "grep -q '/sshd$'" might do the trick.  Is there any
reason to catch multiple trailing d's?

If a more loose matching scheme is really desired, it might be helpful to 
print out the matching ps lines before generating the error (just so
that it's more obvious to the user as to what is going on).

Sorry if this is too nit-picky.  I just happened to notice it when I was
looking at other stuff.

Herb.

It looks like there may be a problem with the ssh-host-config in the
5.1p1-7 release.  It now uses "mount -t", but the -t option is no longer
valid in the 1.7 version of mount.

This is on a vista machine with a clean 1.7 install (with openssh-5.1p1-7
installed from a local mirror since the public mirrors are broken right now).

Switching it back to "mount -o text" seems to work (I'm not sure if that
should be made conditional on 1.7 though).

There have been some problems regenerating setup-2.ini today.  I'm waiting
for some package maintainers to fill me in on what's going on with their
packages so that we can fix the problem.

It seems that setup-2.ini on the mirrors is actually pointing to 5.1p1-6, 
which does not exist in release-2.  

It looks like the modification time of the tarball is 3 minutes after
setup-2.ini, so perhaps setup-2.ini just needs to be regenerated.
