[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: OpenSSH-3.2.2p1-1


I've updated the version of OpenSSH in cygwin/latest to 3.2.2p1-1.

This is a major release.

Please note that the official release contains an error which
disallowes to build the sources on Cygwin OOTB.  The Cygwin source
archive has the fix applied, though.

Official Release Message:
====================================================================
OpenSSH 3.2.2 has just been released. It will be available from the  
mirrors listed at http://www.openssh.com/ shortly.

OpenSSH is a 100% complete SSH protocol version 1.3, 1.5 and 2.0
implementation and includes sftp client and server support.

We would like to thank the OpenSSH community for their continued
support and encouragement.

Security Changes:
=================

- fixed buffer overflow in Kerberos/AFS token passing
- fixed overflow in Kerberos client code
- sshd no longer auto-enables Kerberos/AFS

  see UsePrivilegeSeparation in sshd(8) and
          http://www.citi.umich.edu/u/provos/ssh/privsep.html
  for more information.
- only accept RSA keys of size SSH_RSA_MINIMUM_MODULUS_SIZE (768) or larger

Other Changes:
==============

- improved smartcard support (including support for OpenSC, see www.opensc.org)

- fixed stderr handling in protocol v2
- client reports failure if -R style TCP forwarding fails in protocol v2

====================================================================

To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on
the http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin web page.  This downloads setup.exe
to your system.  The, run setup and answer all of the questions.

Note that we do not allow downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka
cygwin.com) due to bandwidth limitations.  This means that you will need
to find a mirror which has this update.

In the US, ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/mirrors/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/ is a
reliable high bandwidth connection.

In Germany,
ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/pc/gnuwin32/cygwin/mirrors/cygnus/ is
usually pretty good.

In the UK,
http://programming.ccp14.ac.uk/ftp-mirror/programming/cygwin/pub/cygwin/
is usually up-to-date within 48 hours.

If one of the above doesn't have the latest version of this package then
you can either wait for the site to be updated or find another mirror.

If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin
mailing list at:  cygwin@sources.redhat.com .  I would appreciate
if you would use this mailing list rather than emailing me directly.
This includes ideas and comments about the setup utility or Cygwin
in general.

If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin mailing list is
the appropriate place.
