TODO revision 126274
1Documentation:
2
3- Update the docs
4  - Update README
5  - Update INSTALL
6  - Merge INSTALL & README.privsep
7
8- Install FAQ?
9
10- General FAQ on S/Key, TIS, RSA, RSA2, DSA, etc and suggestions on when it
11  would be best to use them.
12
13- Create a Documentation/ directory?
14
15Programming:
16
17- Grep for 'XXX' comments and fix
18
19- Link order is incorrect for some systems using Kerberos 4 and AFS. Result
20  is multiple inclusion of DES symbols. Holger Trapp
21  <holger.trapp@hrz.tu-chemnitz.de> reports that changing the configure
22  generated link order from:
23	-lresolv -lkrb -lz -lnsl  -lutil -lkafs -lkrb -ldes -lcrypto
24  to:
25	-lresolv -lkrb -lz -lnsl  -lutil -lcrypto -lkafs -lkrb -ldes
26  fixing the problem.
27
28- Write a test program that calls stat() to search for EGD/PRNGd socket
29  rather than use the (non-portable) "test -S".
30
31- More platforms for for setproctitle() emulation (testing needed)
32
33- Improve PAM support (a pam_lastlog module will cause sshd to exit)
34  and maybe support alternate forms of authentications like OPIE via
35  pam?
36
37- Improve PAM ChallengeResponseAuthentication
38 - Informational messages
39 - chauthtok
40 - Use different PAM service name for kbdint vs regular auth (suggest from
41   Solar Designer)
42 - Ability to select which ChallengeResponseAuthentications may be used
43   and order to try them in e.g. "ChallengeResponseAuthentication skey, pam"
44
45- Complete Tru64 SIA support
46 - It looks like we could merge it into the password auth code to cut down
47   on diff size. Maybe PAM password auth too?
48
49- Finish integrating kernel-level auditing code for IRIX and SOLARIS
50  (Gilbert.r.loomis@saic.com)
51
52- 64-bit builds on HP-UX 11.X (stevesk@pobox.com):
53  - utmp/wtmp get corrupted (something in loginrec?)
54  - can't build with PAM (no 64-bit libpam yet)
55
56Clean up configure/makefiles:
57- Clean up configure.ac - There are a few double #defined variables
58  left to do.  HAVE_LOGIN is one of them.  Consider NOT looking for
59  information in wtmpx or utmpx or any of that stuff if it's not detected
60  from the start
61
62- Fails to compile when cross compile. (vinschen@redhat.com)
63
64- Replace the whole u_intXX_t evilness in acconfig.h with something better???
65 - Do it in configure.ac
66
67- Consider splitting the u_intXX_t test for sys/bitype.h  into seperate test
68  to allow people to (right/wrongfully) link against Bind directly.
69
70- Consider splitting configure.ac into seperate files which do logically
71  similar tests. E.g move all the type detection stuff into one file,
72  entropy related stuff into another.
73
74Packaging:
75- Solaris: Update packaging scripts and build new sysv startup scripts
76  Ideally the package metadata should be generated by autoconf.
77  (gilbert.r.loomis@saic.com)
78
79- HP-UX: Provide DEPOT package scripts.

81
82PrivSep Issues:
83- mmap() issues.
84  + /dev/zero solution (Solaris)
85  + No/broken MAP_ANON (Irix)
86  + broken /dev/zero parse (Linux)
87- PAM
88  + See above PAM notes
89- AIX
90  + usrinfo() does not set TTY, but only required for legacy systems.  Works
91    with PrivSep.
92- OSF
93  + SIA is broken
94- Cygwin
95  + Privsep for Pre-auth only (no fd passing)
