Hi all,

I've got another edition of the OpenSSH testing images for interested
parties, with fixes for issues brought up so far:

https://us-east.manta.joyent.com/arekinath/public/platform-20150828T172856Z.tgz
https://us-east.manta.joyent.com/arekinath/public/platform-20150828T172856Z.iso
https://us-east.manta.joyent.com/arekinath/public/platform-20150828T172856Z.usb.bz2


Issues addressed since the last image:

* Upgraded to OpenSSH 7.1p1 (fixing a key bug in the handling of
  without-password for root auth)

* Re-enable DSA keys for authentication by default

* ssh-agent now drops privileges properly during operation

* krb5/gssapi fixes

* Support for defaulting config options based on /etc/default/login


I also have a list of current differences to SunSSH. I would sincerely
appreciate assistance in filling out this list, so that it's as complete as
possible.

* Key fingerprint format has changed (eg in ssh-keygen)
 - To get old behaviour, use -E md5 and strip the leading MD5:

* SunSSH used to support keys stored in RFC4716 and PKCS8 format -- this is no
  longer available

* PreUserauthHook is no longer supported (it was never documented anyway)

* ssh -X now behaves as it does elsewhere, rather than essentially acting as
  -Y does

* i18n/gettext will no longer affect ssh text output
* Locale negotiation will now work the same way it does in stock OpenSSH

* Some deprecated options:
  - LookupClientHostnames => UseDNS (default no)
  - VerifyReverseMapping  => UseDNS
  - MaxAuthTriesLog       => MaxAuthTries (default 6)
  - RhostsAuthentication  => HostbasedAuthentication (don't use this)

* Some long-deprecated aliases of options are gone and will be considered 
invalid:
  - GSSKeyEx
  - GSSAuthentication
  - GSSDelegateCreds

* SSH daemon will mkdir /var/empty if it doesn't exist, for privsep chroot.
  Deleting it is a bad idea.

* Configurations which rely on pubkey auth not being sufficient (ie, that
  require both a pubkey AND interactive PAM to succeed) will no longer work.

* Some workarounds for S10-era SunSSH builds will no longer be available.
  if you're trying to use clients or daemons from this era, you're probably
  already on your own.


If you notice other non-trivial differences in behaviour that are not on
this list, please let me (or the list) know! Thanks
