Log Message:
Updated security/openssh to 5.5.1
Lots of changes, including
* After a transition period of about 10 years, this release disables
SSH protocol 1 by default. Clients and servers that need to use the
legacy protocol must explicitly enable it in ssh_config / sshd_config
or on the command-line.
* Remove the libsectok/OpenSC-based smartcard code and add support for
PKCS#11 tokens. This support is automatically enabled on all
platforms that support dlopen(3) and was inspired by patches written
by Alon Bar-Lev. Details in the ssh(1) and ssh-add(1) manpages.
* Add support for certificate authentication of users and hosts using a
new, minimal OpenSSH certificate format (not X.509). Certificates
contain a public key, identity information and some validity
constraints and are signed with a standard SSH public key using
ssh-keygen(1). CA keys may be marked as trusted in authorized_keys
or via a TrustedUserCAKeys option in sshd_config(5) (for user
authentication), or in known_hosts (for host authentication).
Documentation for certificate support may be found in ssh-keygen(1),
sshd(8) and ssh(1) and a description of the protocol extensions in
PROTOCOL.certkeys.
* Added a 'netcat mode' to ssh(1): "ssh -W host:port ..." This connects
stdio on the client to a single port forward on the server. This
allows, for example, using ssh as a ProxyCommand to route connections
via intermediate servers. bz#1618
