Yes, but that is a whole lot more to have to type than `scp -1', and
since we want to encorage poeple to use ssh/scp and it is typed so often,
it would be nice (and oroginal since ssh has it) to add -1 to scp.

I'm late in this thread, so I don't know what has been discussed before,
but if this means to use protocol version one, scp does this already
with

scp -o Protocol=1 ...

That's what I use since freefall has implemented this POLA-violation^Wnew
philosophy.

I would also prefer that the default remained 1,2 for 4.4-release.
(not that the default would affect me, but I suspect that's probably
a better default for the release).

The protocol 2,1 thing should not be MFC'd.  Unless you intend this to
be your usual of breakage of ssh around -release time. :)

Please keep it 1,2 at least for the time being.

My only real observation is that with Protocol using (2) by default, my
logins to RELENG_4 boxes using RSA key authentication are broken.  If I
stick a Protocol 1 in, it works fine, but it took me a bit to figure out
what was going on, and given that scp doesn't support -1, was a bit of a
pain.  I haven't tried using OpenSSH 2.9 with Kerberos as yet, but that
would be something to test.  Let me know if you need access to a
KerberosIV realm to test with.

In the following:
"gilead" refers to a MacOS 10 machine in my office at work which
 is running MacOS 10.0.4 plus an update to OpenSSH that
 reports itself as
 OpenSSH_2.9p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090581f
"pulse-10" is a MacOS 10 machine at home, which is running
 MacOS 10.0.4 plus Apple's "Web Sharing Update, and OpenSSH
 in that reports itself as
 OpenSSH_2.9p2, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090581f
"f14"is the freebsd machine at home when it is running stable.
"f15"is the same machine when it is running -current.


pulse-10 -> f14:
 does not work with openssh using protocol v1
 does not work with openssh using protocol v2
 does not work with a program called NiftyTelnetSSH, which uses v1
 DOES work if I use a program called MacSSH, which uses v2

 for all three which do not work, it acts as if f14 is simply not
 running sshd.  f14 -> f14 does work, for both ssh1 and ssh2

f14 -> pulse-10
 hrm.  I forgot to write down what this did.  I think it worked
 for one protocol but not for the other, but I don't remember
 for sure.

pulse-10 -> f15
 does not work with openssh using protocol v1
 does not work with openssh using protocol v2
 DOES work if I use NiftyTelnetSSH, using v1
 DOES work if I use MacSSH, using v2

 again, for the ones which didn't work, they just acted as if
 f15 was not running sshd, but obviously it was or the other
 two programs could not have connected...

f15 -> pulse-10
 works for openssh using v1
 works for openssh using v2

f14 -> gilead
 arg.  again I forgot to write it down.  I think that what happened
 is that I did one set of tests, copied my notes from home to work,
 and then did the second set of tests without re-copying my notes...

f15 -> gilead
 works for openssh using v1
 dies a horrible death for openssh using v2:
 "Disconnecting: Bad packet length -1384901965"

And just to be complete:

pulse-10 -> gilead  (ie, both MacOS 10's, with different openssh's)
 openssh v1 works
 openssh v2 dies:
 "Disconnecting: Bad packet length -1741630907"

So, no matter how you slice it I seem to be able to come up with
problems going between MacOS 10 and openssh on freebsd.  However,
I can't really say that openssh in -current is particularly worse
than -stable, it's just different.

Also note that I was doing these tests at 8am, which was about
three hours earlier than I had expected to be awake this morning.
So, they probably aren't as complete or as helpful as they might
have been

FWIW, I do the same in my .ssh/config because I work in a heterogeneous
computing environment where my home directory is NFS automounted.  Some
operating systems come with SSH daemons still installed by default as
1,2. The newer operating systems, including most of our linux installs,
are 2,1 by default.  I use RSA keys to authenticate and it's easier to
just have one keypair to worry about.  When every machine I use has
sshv2 support and does it by default, then I'll kill the RSA keys and
generate DSA keys.  It's quite annoying that systems which have 2,1 in
their sshd_config won't detect that I have RSA keys in .ssh but no DSA
keys and go ahead and select sshv1 on their own.

I don't mean to disappoint, but I don't think it will be possible to fall 
back without creating modifications on both sides (both renogotiation of 
connection on the server side and client side, because the protocols are 
inherently different).

For what it's worth, I tend to simply set "Protocol 1,2" in my .ssh/config 
and for the default case, it works fine (just like it used to).  I don't 
want to make that policy decision, though, because we will be better off 
when everyone moves to the protocol version 2, so it's reasonable for the 
default to make things "difficult" to encourage the switch.  I support the 
OpenSSH developers' plan here.

You've never responded to requests from people asking what it would take
to make things fall back to v1 gracefully.  We all know it is a "feature"
that with a default configuration, it will try ssh2 first and if it is
not able to authenticate (say you have no .ssh/authorized_keys2 file) the
connection can fail.

I have a machine at home which I dual-boot between -current and -stable.
I also have a MacOS 10 machine at home, which was running the version of
openssh that Scott Anguish had made available for MacOS 10 (and which
was newer than what Apple had put in 10.0.4).  I have had some problems
ssh-ing between the two machines when the freebsd machine is running
-current, but not when it is running -stable.

As luck would have it, I just upgraded my MacOS 10 system at home so
it has a newer version of openssh from apple, just about six hours ago.
So, I don't know if that's still a problem.  I also don't know for sure
if the problem was with Scott's version for MacOS 10, or with the version
in freebsd-current.  I will do some tests at home tomorrow morning, and
let you know how it works out.

I am not using KRB4 or KRB5, both machines are just standalone setups.

quick informal survey: OpenSSH broken?

2001-07-29 Thread Brian Fundakowski Feldman

I need to know, if OpenSSH is ever going to get MFC'ed, are there any people 
currently running OpenSSH 2.9 from -CURRENT's base and getting major 
problems with it?  Or even minor ones that actually make things more 
difficult?  I want to have no real outstanding issues, except simple ones 
like Protocol being set to 2,1 by default (which is a reasonable default 
nowadays), before I MFC OpenSSH, because I really don't want to leave anyone 
screwed over in the process.

So let me know, ASAP, what problems you all are having with OpenSSH in 
-CURRENT, specifically in the FreeBSD-specific parts.  I'm also not certain 
of KRB4 and KRB5 auth still both work properly, and need that verified.
Thanks, everybody.
