Package: openssh-server Version: 1:4.1p1-6 Followup-For: Bug #292932 In an attempt to provide something useful to this request (rather than my me too post a moment ago), I just ran across this: --- http://groups.google.com/group/mailing.unix.openssh-dev/browse_thread/thread/d6f419da2faae3ad/508e0f2fb1208e7d?lnk=st&q=%22darren+tucker%22+hpn-ssh&rnum=1#508e0f2fb1208e7d
Hopefully that comes through properly. Anyway, it's a discussion between Darren Tucker (one of the OpenSSH contributors) and Chris Rapier (one of the HPN-SSH contributors) about the performance patch with some suggested changes by Darren. Assuming this all goes well ultimately, upstream might very well be including these changes. But for the time being, it might be nice to grab the original HPN-SSH patch and make Darren's recommended changes and include it in the Debian package. In another post I saw by Darren at: --- http://groups.google.com/group/comp.security.ssh/browse_thread/thread/91064fcec483b534/7d2ecfbc5bd0369b?lnk=st&q=%22darren+tucker%22+hpn-ssh&rnum=2#7d2ecfbc5bd0369b he mentions that using the none cipher probably won't increase throughput too much as the MAC (Message Authentication Code) is usually the bottleneck. Although, this would change probably if the previous performance patch were also included, assuming that Darren was referring to the MAC being the bottleneck with the currently implemented OpenSSH buffering scheme. So anyway, that's all I know at this point. Something to at least keep an eye on as more of us are working on fast network segments and even people on high latency and possibly even slow networks look to benefit from this. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12.4 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages openssh-server depends on: ii adduser 3.67 Add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.4.57 Debian configuration management sy ii dpkg 1.13.10 Package maintenance system for Deb ii libc6 2.3.5-3 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libpam-modules 0.76-23 Pluggable Authentication Modules f ii libpam-runtime 0.76-23 Runtime support for the PAM librar ii libpam0g 0.76-23 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libselinux1 1.24-4 SELinux shared libraries ii libssl0.9.7 0.9.7g-1 SSL shared libraries ii libwrap0 7.6.dbs-8 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra ii openssh-client 1:4.1p1-6 Secure shell client, an rlogin/rsh ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-3 compression library - runtime openssh-server recommends no packages. -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
