<snip> Changes since OpenSSH 3.8: ============================ * Added new "IdentitiesOnly" option to ssh(1), which specifies that it should use keys specified in ssh_config, rather than any keys in ssh-agent(1) * Make sshd(8) re-execute itself on accepting a new connection. This security measure ensures that all execute-time randomisations are reapplied for each connection rather than once, for the master process' lifetime. This includes mmap and malloc mappings, shared library addressing, shared library mapping order, ProPolice and StackGhost cookies on systems that support such things * Add strict permission and ownership checks to programs reading ~/.ssh/config NB ssh(1) will now exit instead of trying to process a config with poor ownership or permissions * Implemented the ability to pass selected environment variables between the client and the server. See "AcceptEnv" in sshd_config(5) and "SendEnv" in ssh_config(5) for details * Added a "MaxAuthTries" option to sshd(8), allowing control over the maximum number of authentication attempts permitted per connection * Added support for cancellation of active remote port forwarding sessions. This may be performed using the ~C escape character, see "Escape Characters" in ssh(1) for details * Many sftp(1) interface improvements, including greatly enhanced "ls" support and the ability to cancel active transfers using SIGINT (^C) * Implement session multiplexing: a single ssh(1) connection can now carry multiple login/command/file transfer sessions. Refer to the "ControlMaster" and "ControlPath" options in ssh_config(5) for more information * The sftp-server has improved support for non-POSIX filesystems (e.g. FAT) * Portable OpenSSH: Re-introduce support for PAM password authentication, in addition to the keyboard-interactive driver. PAM password authentication is less flexible, and doesn't support pre-authentication password expiry but runs in-process so Kerberos tokens, etc are retained * Improved and more extensive regression tests * Many bugfixes and small improvements Checksums: ========== - MD5 (openssh-3.9.tgz) = 93f48bfcc1560895ae53de6bfc41689b - MD5 (openssh-3.9p1.tar.gz) = 8e1774d0b52aff08f817f3987442a16e </snip>
