Template: ssh/new_config
Type: boolean
Default: true
_Description: Generate new configuration file
 This version of OpenSSH has a considerably changed configuration file from
 the version shipped in Debian 'Potato', which you appear to be upgrading
 from. I can now generate you a new configuration file
 (/etc/ssh/sshd.config), which will work with the new server version, but
 will not contain any customisations 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). It is the opinion of the maintainer that
 this is the correct default (see README.Debian for more details), but you
 can always edit sshd_config and set it to no if you wish.
 .
 It is strongly recommended that you let me generate a new configuration
 file for you.

Template: ssh/protocol2_only
Type: boolean
Default: true
_Description: Allow SSH protocol 2 only
 This version of OpenSSH supports version 2 of the ssh protocol, which is
 much more secure.  Disabling ssh 1 is encouraged, however this will slow
 things down on low end machines and might prevent older clients from
 connecting (the ssh client shipped with "potato" is affected).
 .
 Also please note that keys used for protocol 1 are different so you will
 not be able to use them if you only allow protocol 2 connections.
 .
 If you later change your mind about this setting, README.Debian has
 instructions on what to do to your sshd_config file.

Template: ssh/use_old_init_script
Type: boolean
Default: false
_Description: Do you want to continue (and risk killing active ssh sessions)?
 The version of /etc/init.d/ssh that you have installed, is likely to kill
 all running sshd instances.  If you are doing this upgrade via an ssh
 session, that would be a Bad Thing(tm).
 .
 You can fix this by adding "--pidfile /var/run/sshd.pid" to the
 start-stop-daemon line in the stop section of the file.

Template: ssh/insecure_rshd
Type: note
_Description: Warning: rsh-server is installed --- probably not a good idea
 having rsh-server installed undermines the security that you were probably
 wanting to obtain by installing ssh.  I'd advise you to remove that
 package.

Template: ssh/insecure_telnetd
Type: note
_Description: Warning: telnetd is installed --- probably not a good idea
 I'd advise you to either remove the telnetd package (if you don't actually
 need to offer telnet access) or install telnetd-ssl so that there is at
 least some chance that telnet sessions will not be sending unencrypted
 login/password and session information over the network.

Template: ssh/encrypted_host_key_but_no_keygen
Type: note
_Description: Warning: you must create a new host key
 There is an old /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key, which is IDEA encrypted. OpenSSH
 can not handle this host key file, and I can't find the ssh-keygen utility
 from the old (non-free) SSH installation.
 .
 You will need to 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 your 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.
