OpenSSH 5.4 Released
HipToday writes "As posted on the OpenBSD Journal, OpenSSH 5.4 has been released: 'Some highlights of this release are the disabling of protocol 1 by default, certificate authentication, a new "netcat mode," many changes on the sftp front (both client and server) and a collection of assorted bugfixes. The new release can already be found on a large number of mirrors and of course on www.openssh.com.'"
I'm confused. You're excitedly sad about the sftp improvements?
OpenSSH is nothing short of magic. I too use it to tunnel out of work's firewall.
Now, Debian Dev. DON'T TOUCH. :)
- Implement tab-completion of commands, local and remote filenames
Well thank frak.
that is brief!
A brief quote from the project's home page:
Please take note of our Who uses it page, which list just some of the vendors who incorporate OpenSSH into their own products -- as a critically important security / access feature -- instead of writing their own SSH implementation or purchasing one from another vendor. This list specifically includes companies like Cisco, Juniper, Apple, Red Hat, and Novell; but probably includes almost all router, switch or unix-like operating system vendors. In the 10 years since the inception of the OpenSSH project, these companies have contributed not even a dime of thanks in support of the OpenSSH project (despite numerous requests).
So go and DONATE, as i've just done.
Okay, we get it Theo.
