Hi All,

I ran into an issue when upgrading from 2.3.2-1 to 2.3.2-7.  It caused some
issues for my users, and wanted to find out if this was intended or not.

Basically I had the group 'rsshuser' per the man page that contained all my
rssh users.  During the upgrade, the group 'rsshusers' was created, and
permissions were changed on /usr/bin/rssh and
/usr/libexec/rssh_chroot_helper to only allow the newly created rsshusers
group to execute.  Since this group was new, none of the users in 'rsshuser'
were in 'rsshusers'.  Assuming i had a proper configuration prior to the
upgrade, I would imagine that upgrade should have created 'rsshuser' group
if it did not exist and update permissions on files appropriately.  I cannot
find any references in the updated man page about 'rsshusers' either, it
still says to create and use 'rsshuser'.

Here is my before and after from a test box.

[root@testbox ~]# ls -l /usr/bin/rssh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 26479 Mar  8  2007 /usr/bin/rssh

[root@testbox ~]# ls -l /usr/libexec/rssh_chroot_helper
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 54204 Mar  8  2007 /usr/libexec/rssh_chroot_helper

[root@testbox ~]# grep rsshuser /etc/group
rsshuser:x:5023:testrssh

[root@testbox ~]# rpm -U /tmp/yum/rssh-2.3.2-7.el5.i386.rpm

[root@testbox ~]# ls -l /usr/bin/rssh
-rwxr-x--- 1 root rsshusers 22276 Nov  4 13:27 /usr/bin/rssh

[root@testbox ~]# ls -l /usr/libexec/rssh_chroot_helper
-rwsr-x--- 1 root rsshusers 21060 Nov  4 13:27
/usr/libexec/rssh_chroot_helper

[root@testbox ~]# grep rsshuser /etc/group
rsshuser:x:5023:testrssh
rsshusers:x:491:

[root@testbox ~]#

Thanks in advance for any info that may shed some light on this issue.
