* Split the ssh binary package into openssh-client and openssh-server
(closes: #39741). openssh-server depends on openssh-client for some common functionality; it didn't seem worth creating yet another package for this. * New transitional ssh package, depending on openssh-client and openssh-server. May be removed once nothing depends on it. * When upgrading from ssh to openssh-{client,server}, it's very difficult for the maintainer scripts to find out what version we're upgrading from without dodgy dpkg hackery. I've therefore taken the opportunity to move a couple of debconf notes into NEWS files, namely ssh/ssh2_keys_merged and ssh/user_environment_tell. * In general, upgrading to this version directly from woody without first upgrading to the version in sarge is not currently guaranteed to work very smoothly due to the aforementioned version discovery problems.

1Template: ssh/new_config
2Type: boolean
3Default: true
4_Description: Generate new configuration file
5 This version of OpenSSH has a considerably changed configuration file from
6 the version shipped in Debian 'Potato', which you appear to be upgrading
7 from. I can now generate you a new configuration file
8 (/etc/ssh/sshd.config), which will work with the new server version, but
9 will not contain any customisations you made with the old version.
10 .
11 Please note that this new configuration file will set the value of
12 'PermitRootLogin' to yes (meaning that anyone knowing the root password
13 can ssh directly in as root). It is the opinion of the maintainer that
14 this is the correct default (see README.Debian for more details), but you
15 can always edit sshd_config and set it to no if you wish.
16 .
17 It is strongly recommended that you let me generate a new configuration
18 file for you.
19
20Template: ssh/protocol2_only
21Type: boolean
22Default: true
23_Description: Allow SSH protocol 2 only
24 This version of OpenSSH supports version 2 of the ssh protocol, which is
25 much more secure. Disabling ssh 1 is encouraged, however this will slow
26 things down on low end machines and might prevent older clients from
27 connecting (the ssh client shipped with "potato" is affected).
28 .
29 Also please note that keys used for protocol 1 are different so you will
30 not be able to use them if you only allow protocol 2 connections.
31 .
32 If you later change your mind about this setting, README.Debian has
33 instructions on what to do to your sshd_config file.
34
35Template: ssh/ssh2_keys_merged
36Type: note
37_Description: ssh2 keys merged in configuration files
38 As of version 3 OpenSSH no longer uses separate files for ssh1 and ssh2
39 keys. This means the authorized_keys2 and known_hosts2 files are no longer
40 needed. They will still be read in order to maintain backwards
41 compatibility
42
43Template: ssh/use_old_init_script
44Type: boolean
45Default: false
46_Description: Do you want to continue (and risk killing active ssh sessions)?
47 The version of /etc/init.d/ssh that you have installed, is likely to kill
48 all running sshd instances. If you are doing this upgrade via an ssh
49 session, that would be a Bad Thing(tm).
50 .
51 You can fix this by adding "--pidfile /var/run/sshd.pid" to the
52 start-stop-daemon line in the stop section of the file.
53
54Template: ssh/forward_warning
55Type: note
56_Description: NOTE: Forwarding of X11 and Authorization disabled by default.
57 For security reasons, the Debian version of ssh has ForwardX11 and
58 ForwardAgent set to ``off'' by default.
59 .
60 You can enable it for servers you trust, either in one of the
61 configuration files, or with the -X command line option.
62 .
63 More details can be found in /usr/share/doc/ssh/README.Debian
64
65Template: ssh/insecure_rshd
66Type: note
67_Description: Warning: rsh-server is installed --- probably not a good idea
68 having rsh-server installed undermines the security that you were probably
69 wanting to obtain by installing ssh. I'd advise you to remove that
70 package.
71
72Template: ssh/insecure_telnetd
73Type: note
74_Description: Warning: telnetd is installed --- probably not a good idea
75 I'd advise you to either remove the telnetd package (if you don't actually
76 need to offer telnet access) or install telnetd-ssl so that there is at
77 least some chance that telnet sessions will not be sending unencrypted
78 login/password and session information over the network.
79
80Template: ssh/encrypted_host_key_but_no_keygen
81Type: note
82_Description: Warning: you must create a new host key
83 There is an old /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key, which is IDEA encrypted. OpenSSH
84 can not handle this host key file, and I can't find the ssh-keygen utility
85 from the old (non-free) SSH installation.
86 .
87 You will need to generate a new host key.
88
89Template: ssh/SUID_client
90Type: boolean
91Default: true
92_Description: Do you want /usr/lib/ssh-keysign to be installed SUID root?
93 You have the option of installing the ssh-keysign helper with the SUID bit
94 set.
95 .
96 If you make ssh-keysign SUID, you will be able to use SSH's Protocol 2
97 host-based authentication.
98 .
99 If in doubt, I suggest you install it with SUID. If it causes problems
100 you can change your mind later by running: dpkg-reconfigure ssh
101
102Template: ssh/run_sshd
103Type: boolean
104Default: true
105_Description: Do you want to run the sshd server?
106 This package contains both the ssh client, and the sshd server.
107 .
108 Normally the sshd Secure Shell Server will be run to allow remote logins
109 via ssh.
110 .
111 If you are only interested in using the ssh client for outbound
112 connections on this machine, and don't want to log into it at all using
113 ssh, then you can disable sshd here.
114
115Template: ssh/user_environment_tell
116Type: note
117_Description: Environment options on keys have been deprecated
118 This version of OpenSSH disables the environment option for public keys by
119 default, in order to avoid certain attacks (for example, LD_PRELOAD). If
120 you are using this option in an authorized_keys file, beware that the keys
121 in question will no longer work until the option is removed.
122 .
123 To re-enable this option, set "PermitUserEnvironment yes" in
124 /etc/ssh/sshd_config after the upgrade is complete, taking note of the
125 warning in the sshd_config(5) manual page.
