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.

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.

35Template: ssh/use_old_init_script
36Type: boolean
37Default: false
38_Description: Do you want to continue (and risk killing active ssh sessions)?
39 The version of /etc/init.d/ssh that you have installed, is likely to kill
40 all running sshd instances. If you are doing this upgrade via an ssh
41 session, that would be a Bad Thing(tm).
42 .
43 You can fix this by adding "--pidfile /var/run/sshd.pid" to the
44 start-stop-daemon line in the stop section of the file.
45
46Template: ssh/forward_warning
47Type: note
48_Description: NOTE: Forwarding of X11 and Authorization disabled by default.
49 For security reasons, the Debian version of ssh has ForwardX11 and
50 ForwardAgent set to ``off'' by default.
51 .
52 You can enable it for servers you trust, either in one of the
53 configuration files, or with the -X command line option.
54 .
55 More details can be found in /usr/share/doc/ssh/README.Debian

57Template: ssh/insecure_rshd
58Type: note
59_Description: Warning: rsh-server is installed --- probably not a good idea
60 having rsh-server installed undermines the security that you were probably
61 wanting to obtain by installing ssh. I'd advise you to remove that
62 package.
63
64Template: ssh/insecure_telnetd
65Type: note
66_Description: Warning: telnetd is installed --- probably not a good idea
67 I'd advise you to either remove the telnetd package (if you don't actually
68 need to offer telnet access) or install telnetd-ssl so that there is at
69 least some chance that telnet sessions will not be sending unencrypted
70 login/password and session information over the network.
71
72Template: ssh/encrypted_host_key_but_no_keygen
73Type: note
74_Description: Warning: you must create a new host key
75 There is an old /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key, which is IDEA encrypted. OpenSSH
76 can not handle this host key file, and I can't find the ssh-keygen utility
77 from the old (non-free) SSH installation.
78 .
79 You will need to generate a new host key.
