That's exactly what I'm looking for. A copy of the patch would be appreciated, I'll have to think about using it on my server -- I don' feel very comfortable using a hand-compiled sshd instead of a Debian-packaged one... Have people already looked at the patch? Is it realistic that it will eventually end up in openssh? If not, I guess I'd better just run a second sshd on port 2222, but obviously I don't really like this. cheers -- vbi -- Development costs of average proprietary and free software don't differ radically because the methods are pretty much the same. The huge difference lies in the way the developers try to recoup their costs, not in the costs they have to compensate. -- Florian Weimer on debian-security
