3	    FreeBSD maintainer's guide to OpenSSH-portable
4	    ==============================================
5
6
70) Make sure your mail spool has plenty of free space.  It'll fill up
8   pretty fast once you're done with this checklist.
9
101) Grab the latest OpenSSH-portable tarball from the OpenBSD FTP
11   site (ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/OpenSSH/portable/)
12
132) Unpack the tarball in a suitable directory.
14
153) Remove trash:
16
17	$ sh -c 'while read glob ; do rm -rvf $glob ; done' \
18		</usr/src/crypto/openssh/FREEBSD-Xlist
19
20   Make sure that took care of everything, and if it didn't, make sure
21   to update FREEBSD-Xlist so you won't miss it the next time.  A good
22   way to do this is to run a test import and see if any new files
23   show up:
24
25	$ cvs -n import src/crypto/openssh OPENSSH x | grep \^N
26
274) Import the sources:
28
29	$ cvs import src/crypto/openssh OPENSSH OpenSSH_X_YpZ
30
315) Resolve conflicts.  Remember to bump the version number and
32   addendum in version.h, and update the default value in
33   ssh{,d}_config and ssh{,d}_config.5.
34
356) Generate configure and config.h.in:
36
37	$ autoconf
38	$ autoheader
39
40   Note: this requires a recent version of autoconf, not autoconf213.
41
427) Run configure with the appropriate arguments:
43
44	$ ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc/ssh \
45		--with-pam --with-tcp-wrappers --with-libedit
46
47   Note that we don't want to configure OpenSSH for Kerberos using
48   configure since we have to be able to turn it on or off depending
49   on the value of MK_KERBEROS.  Our Makefiles take care of this.
50
518) Commit the resulting config.h.  Make sure you don't accidentally
52   commit any other files created by autoconf, autoheader or
53   configure; they'll just clutter up the repo and cause trouble at
54   the next upgrade.
55
569) Build and test.
57
58A) Re-commit everything on freefall (you *did* use a test repo for
59   this, didn't you?)

63	  An overview of FreeBSD changes to OpenSSH-portable
64	  ==================================================
65
660) VersionAddendum
67
68   The SSH protocol allows for a human-readable version string of up
69   to 40 characters to be appended to the protocol version string.
70   FreeBSD takes advantage of this to include a date indicating the
71   "patch level", so people can easily determine whether their system
72   is vulnerable when an OpenSSH advisory goes out.  Some people,
73   however, dislike advertising their patch level in the protocol
74   handshake, so we've added a VersionAddendum configuration variable
75   to allow them to change or disable it.
76
771) Modified server-side defaults
78
79   We've modified some configuration defaults in sshd:
80
81      - Protocol defaults to "2".
82
83      - PasswordAuthentication defaults to "no" when PAM is enabled.
84
85      - For protocol version 2, we don't load RSA host keys by
86        default.  If both RSA and DSA keys are present, we prefer DSA
87        to RSA.
88
89      - LoginGraceTime defaults to 120 seconds instead of 600.
90
91      - PermitRootLogin defaults to "no".
92
93      - X11Forwarding defaults to "yes" (it's a threat to the client,
94        not to the server.)
95
962) Modified client-side defaults
97
98   We've modified some configuration defaults in ssh:
99
100      - For protocol version 2, if both RSA and DSA keys are present,
101        we prefer DSA to RSA.
102
103      - CheckHostIP defaults to "no".
104
1053) Canonic host names
106
107   We've added code to ssh.c to canonicize the target host name after
108   reading options but before trying to connect.  This eliminates the
109   usual problem with duplicate known_hosts entries.
110
1114) OPIE
112
113   We've added support for using OPIE as a drop-in replacement for
114   S/Key.
115
1165) setusercontext() environment
117
118   Our setusercontext(3) can set environment variables, which we must
119   take care to transfer to the child's environment.

124Labs, ThinkSec, Nescaf�, the Aberlour Glenlivet Distillery Co.,
