This version of OpenSSH has a considerably changed configuration file from the version shipped in Debian 'Potato', which you appear to be upgrading from. This package can now generate a new configuration file (/etc/ssh/sshd.config), which will work with the new server version, but will not contain any customizations you made with the old version. . Please note that this new configuration file will set the value of 'PermitRootLogin' to 'yes' (meaning that anyone knowing the root password can ssh directly in as root). Please read the README.Debian file for more details about this design choice. . It is strongly recommended that you choose to generate a new configuration file now. Template: ssh/use_old_init_script Type: boolean Default: false _Description: Do you want to risk killing active SSH sessions? The currently installed version of /etc/init.d/ssh is likely to kill all running sshd instances. If you are doing this upgrade via an SSH session, you're likely to be disconnected and leave the upgrade procedure unfinished. . This can be fixed by manually adding "--pidfile /var/run/sshd.pid" to the start-stop-daemon line in the stop section of the file. Template: ssh/encrypted_host_key_but_no_keygen Type: note _Description: New host key mandatory The current host key, in /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key, is encrypted with the IDEA algorithm. OpenSSH can not handle this host key file, and the ssh-keygen utility from the old (non-free) SSH installation does not appear to be available. . You need to manually generate a new host key. Template: ssh/disable_cr_auth Type: boolean Default: false _Description: Disable challenge-response authentication? Password authentication appears to be disabled in the current OpenSSH server configuration. In order to prevent users from logging in using passwords (perhaps using only public key authentication instead) with recent versions of OpenSSH, you must disable challenge-response authentication, or else ensure that your PAM configuration does not allow Unix password file authentication. . If you disable challenge-response authentication, then users will not be able to log in using passwords. If you leave it enabled (the default answer), then the 'PasswordAuthentication no' option will have no useful effect unless you also adjust your PAM configuration in /etc/pam.d/ssh. Template: ssh/vulnerable_host_keys Type: note _Description: Vulnerable host keys will be regenerated Some of the OpenSSH server host keys on this system were generated with a version of OpenSSL that had a broken random number generator. As a result, these host keys are from a well-known set, are subject to brute-force attacks, and must be regenerated. . Users of this system should be informed of this change, as they will be prompted about the host key change the next time they log in. Use 'ssh-keygen -l -f HOST_KEY_FILE' after the upgrade has changed to print the fingerprints of the new host keys. . The affected host keys are: . ${HOST_KEYS} . User keys may also be affected by this problem. The 'ssh-vulnkey' command may be used as a partial test for this. See /usr/share/doc/openssh-server/README.compromised-keys for more details.
