OpenSSH Going Strong After 10 Years With Release of v5.3

Posted by timothy on from the can't-even-speak-plainly dept.

An anonymous reader writes "OpenSSH is a 100% complete SSH protocol version 1.3, 1.5 and 2.0 implementation and includes sftp client and server support. It encrypts all traffic (including passwords) to effectively eliminate eavesdropping, connection hijacking, and other attacks. Additionally, OpenSSH provides secure tunneling capabilities and several authentication methods, and supports all SSH protocol versions. Version 5.3 marks the 10th anniversary of the OpenSSH project."

          succeeds and can hang if large amounts of data is sent to the slave
          (eg a copy-paste). bz#1528
