Test OpenSSH 3.6 Snapshots

Posted by timothy on Tuesday March 11, 2003 @07:27AM from the good-seats-are-still-available dept.

Dan writes "OpenBSD's Markus Friedl is requesting everyone to test the latest OpenSSH 3.6 nightly snapshots to help ensure a quality final release. The OpenSSH Portability Team takes the pure OpenSSH version and adds portability code so that OpenSSH can run on many other operating systems. Folks, download snapshots for your OS from one of these mirrors."

How much can you reliably run through an SSH connection to w2k, and still do what you need to be done?

To a certain limited extent, it's possible depending upon your application (aka a w2k DNS server). But as far as convenience of use for most major vendor apps on w2k, ssh isn't viable, unless either MS or someone else is able to encapsulate a PC anywhere through a tunneled ssh connection (similiar to what you can do with VNC).
