OpenSSH 3.6 Released

petabyte writes "Now that RedHat 9 is out, here's something for the rest of us. OpenSSH 3.6 has been released today. Is has several new features including a progress meter for sftp and bandwidth limiting for scp. I haven't installed it yet but I'm sure the packages will be hitting mirrors soon enough. There's even a new T-shirt."

FreeBSD's OpenSSH port updated

[questionlp]

The OpenSSH port for FreeBSD (under security/openssh) has been updated to 3.6 [freshports.org] this morning. One can pull down the individual port tarball from a local FTP mirror or by using CVSup [freebsd.org] to update a local Ports collection.

Which went in 3.5 is cool.

bandwidth

[Satai]

The bandwidth limitation is a big thing for me. I am pretty pleased to see it -- wget has had it for a while, and I like to be able to shut my connections off above 25k or so when it's during peak hours, to be considerate. Now I have that option for secure copying. :-)

Should have used rsync witch can run over ssh and does --bwlimit. Still plenty of reason to use it though.

OpenSSH 3.6.1 released

[next_permutation]

An updated version, OpenSSH 3.6.1, has just been released. Apparantly, the 'kex guesses' bugfix from OpenSSH 3.6 triggers a bug in a few other SSH v2 implementations and causes connections to stall. OpenSSH 3.6.1 disables this bugfix when interoperating with these implementations.
