Hi. I have some corrections to "Special Considerations for SSH Users" in the chapter on upgrading:
* I'm fairly certain potato already used the names "ssh-nonfree" and "ssh" instead of "ssh" and "openssh," so people with "ssh" installed shouldn't have major concerns. * PermitRootLogin is back to "yes" by default. * OTOH, people with ssh-nonfree installed will find that it has become a dummy package depending on OpenSSH, as Debian no longer has much use for non-free ssh. They should say "yes" (the default) to the debconf question about generating new configuration files unless they have a very good reason to keep their old configuration. * ssh-socks is slated to get built from OpenSSH, but that might not manage to happen in time for the release. If it does not, ssh-socks users who do not need rhosts-style authentication should switch to "ssh" in conjunction with socksify from dante-client or runsocks from socks4-clients. (They will need to make sure to answer no to the question about making /usr/bin/ssh setuid root; conveniently, its description already mentions SOCKS, so that part shouldn't be too hard to figure out.) Note that the dummy ssh-nonfree package is currently in ftpmaster wait, but ought to emerge before woody releases. -- Aaron M.
