News for the 1.5.5 release
Added SOCKS-style proxying to lsh and lshd. See the new -D
command line option. Supports both SOCKS-4 and SOCKS-5.
The lsh client no longer sets its stdio file descriptors into
non-blocking mode, which should avoid a bunch of problems. As
a consequence, the --cvs-workaround command line option has
been deleted.
In the user lookup code, lshd now ignores the shadow database
if getspnam returns NULL.
In the server pty setup code, use the group "system" as a
fallback if the group "tty" doesn't exist. This is the case on
AIX. (There are however more problems on AIX, which makes it
uncertain that lshd will work out of the box).
Deleted the --ssh1-fallback option for lshd. I hope ssh1 is
dead by now; if it isn't, you have to run ssh1d and lshd on
different ports.
Deleted code for bug-compatibility with ancient versions of
Datafellow's SSH2. There are zero bug-compatibility hacks in
this version.

For those of you that vote in the European Parliament elections
tomorrow, please consider your candidates' view on the software
patents directive. See http://swpat.ffii.org/ for more information.
Happy hacking,
