Aug 19, 2019 OpenSSH is a free and open source, full implementation of the SSH protocol 2.0.It provides a number of tools for securely accessing and managing remote computer systems, and managing authentications keys, such as ssh (a secure replacement for telnet), scp, sftp (secure replacement for ftp), ssh-keygen, ssh-copy-id, ssh-add, and more. OpenSSH 7.6 was released on 2017-10-03. Mirrors listed at OpenSSH is a 100% complete SSH protocol 2.0 implementation and includes sftp client and server support. Once again, we would like to thank the OpenSSH community for their continued support of the project, especially those who contributed.

This was broken in OpenSSH 7.6 during the removal of SSHv1 support. Bz#2810. ssh(1): Warn when the agent returns a ssh-rsa (SHA1) signature when a rsa-sha2-256/512 signature was requested. This condition is possible when an old or non-OpenSSH agent is in use. Since I was not able to go to the machine and reboot into some kind of BIOS or iLO console, I had to resort to connecting via the web or SSH. The web interface was useless on gathering RAM information, so SSH was my last resort. SSH with modern OpenSSH (7.6) to an HP iLO2. With good hope I connected to the iLO IP from my Ubuntu 18.04 box.

Package Details

--Michael Felt (talk) 12:04, 25 November 2019 (CET) As I get ready to post OpenSSH-8.1p1 I have moved OpenSSH-7.9p1 back to the top, for those who need OpenSSS-7.X for some reason. The recommendation will be to update to OpenSSH-8.1 though - and that shall be built against openssh.base-1.0.2.2000 (or later).

--Michael Felt (talk) 18:18, 19 April 2019 (CEST) And - here it is - OpenSSH-8.0 with all reference to SSHp1 removed from the code! Enjoy!

History

--Michael Felt (talk) 14:49, 8 November 2018 (CET) A bit late (and skipped packaging of version 7.8p1), but here is openssh-7.9p1

--Michael Felt (talk) 16:43, 21 April 2018 (CEST) Latest version out today. I made a small change to the install scripts - mainly, the rc2.d/Ssshd start script makes sure the /dev/*random devices exist - to prevent 'PRNG not found' errors.

--Michael Felt (talk) 12:33, 20 October 2017 (CEST) new packaging - cosmetic - the 'contents' are unchanged, but the installp scripts have less noise - now 'verbose' messages are printed when the environment variable VERBOSE is defined to any string.

--Michael Felt (talk) 18:16, 13 October 2017 (CEST) have a new packaging (VRMF 7.6.0.1602) - and now includes PAM support AND, more importantly (to me) - fixes a problem that prevented X11 forwarding secure tunnels (off by default) automated connections. The problem was because sshd was looking for xauth at /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth - wheil on AIX it is at /usr/bin/X11/xauth.

--Michael Felt (talk) 21:05, 5 October 2017 (CEST) Spent some time on buildaix and additional support scripts so that the ssh_config and sshd_config files are saved/restored.

--Michael Felt (talk) 11:27, 6 October 2017 (CEST) The helper scripts can be better - so I'll still be repackaging the support scripts - which will mean a new MD5 number later. So, if you have anything special in either /var/openssh/etc/ssh_config of /var/openssh/etc/ssh_config - set those aside first and then update.

OpenSSH-7.5p1

--Michael Felt (talk) 17:35, 15 May 2017 (UTC) See https://www.openssh.com/releasenotes.html#7.5p1 for the release notes. Note: requires openssl.base-1.0.2!

Openssh Upgrade

• If you are updating I recommend you make a backup of /var/openssh/etc before making an updates - in particular of any changes made to either ssh_config or sshd_config. There can be major differences between the different versions (i.e., of only the defaults) and your changes may be overwritten (something for me to work on in the future - TODO!)
• Fixed - AFTER you install openssh-7.3p1 (aka openssh-7.3.0.1601). After because the earlier versions uninstall parts are still removing sshd_config and ssh_config.

OpenSSH-7.4p1

--Michael Felt (talk) 20:16, 2 February 2017 (UTC) Changed the packaging so that the unintended hard dependency on aixtools.zlib.1.2.10 is no more. aixtools.zlib.1.2.11.1 is highly recommended!

--Michael Felt (talk) 22:10, 19 January 2017 (UTC) packaged as aixtools.openbsd.openssh.7.4.0.1601.

OpenSSH-7.3p1

--Michael Felt (talk) 13:08, 15 August 2016 (UTC) packaged as aixtools.openbsd.openssh.7.3.0.1601

OpenSSH-7.2p2

--Michael Felt (talk) 22:51, 6 June 2016 (UTC) packaged as aixtools.openbsd.openssh.7.2.0.1701.I

Openssh 7.6p1 Ubuntu 4ubuntu0.3

OpenSSH-7.2p1

--Michael Felt (talk) 11:09, 6 June 2016 (UTC)Now that I understand the differences - this is the preferred OpenSSH as it has done away with TLS1.1 and earlier (by default).

What problems can you expect? That your OpenSSH clients are not yet ready to work with the strict ciphers, hmac, etc.

OpenSSH-7.1p1

--Michael Felt (talk) 08:45, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

• Patched to fix a pre_install script syntax that occurred when /bin/false was not already one of your defined shells.

I am not yet - happy - with my understanding of the changes to the default behavior regarding root login in OpenSSH-7.1. Like myself, you may prefer the behavior of the 6.9p1 release.
