Hi All.

We are planning on doing one of our regular OpenSSH releases (4.6/4.6p1) 
some time next week.  This is a mostly a bugfix release, but there is 
one new feature:

sshd now allows the enabling and disabling of authentication methods on 
a per user, group, host and network basis via the Match directive in 
sshd_config.

The bugs fixed are:

#52     ssh hangs on exit.
#1252   sftp returns 0 when upload is unsuccessful due to a full device.
#1259   small typos in ssh-rand-helper(8).
#1265   SCP progress doesn't map to standard out or standard error.
#1275   Config parsing (parse_time) in Host: context acts globally.
#1281   getrrsetbyname() does not check the presence of SIG records.
#1283   findssl assumes existence of 'which'.
#1267   PermitOpen - Multiple forwards don't works

plus many more small fixes and man page tweaks.  Thanks to all who 
contributed.

More detail may be found in the ChangeLog in the portable OpenSSH
tarballs.

The OpenBSD version is available in CVS HEAD:
http://www.openbsd.org/anoncvs.html

Portable snapshots are available at:
ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/OpenSSH/portable/snapshot/
or one of its mirrors listed at http://www.openssh.com/portable.html#ftp

Running the regression tests supplied with Portable does not require
installation and is a simply:

$ ./configure && make tests

Testing on suitable non-production systems is also appreciated.
Please send reports of success or failure to
openssh-unix-dev@mindrot.org.

Thanks.

     Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
