[Fink-users] trying to get openssh v. 3.7.1 to work

[William Scott]

Hi Folks:

A few days ago openssh Version 3.7.1p1-2 was apparently put into fink unstable.

I cannot find the info and patch files for this. I just cvs selfupdated (again) 2 minutes ago and the latest version I can find in /sw/fink/dists/unstable/crypto/finkinfo is 3.6.1

I therefore edited that file and put in the newer version. Everything compiled and installed, and ssh works, but sshd won't let me log in remotely. I followed the directions in the info file and that all seemed to have gone smoothly.

Manually replacing the new sshd with my older version cures this problem, indicating it isn't the configuration files it is reading, but the binary itself, that is problematic.

Although it cures the problem, I assume I reintroduced the security hole, so it isn't really a cure.

At this point I can't help but think I am trying to resolve a problem Max Horn already solved, but unfortunately don't have access to the up to date openssh info and patch files

If someone has these could you please email them to me?

Thanks.

Bill
