Date: Mon, 28 Apr 2003 14:48:30 -0400

Package: ssh
Version: 1:3.4p1-4

There might be a typo in the sshd manpage

the special characters read as follow :

'*' and ''?

with ''!


instead of '?',
with '!'.

Thanks, I've forwarded this upstream as bug #550. The problem was that
punctuation in the arguments to macros in the mdoc macro set (used for
writing some man pages, particularly in the BSD world) sometimes needs
to be handled specially.

Cheers,

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.

Description: 
 ssh        - Secure rlogin/rsh/rcp replacement (OpenSSH)

Closes: 132681 134589 150968 153235 157078 171673 181869 191131 224457 228838 232281 232843 234777
Changes: 
 openssh (1:3.8p1-1) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * New upstream release (closes: #232281):
     - New PAM implementation based on that in FreeBSD. This runs PAM session
       modules before dropping privileges (closes: #132681, #150968).
     - Since PAM session modules are run as root, we can turn pam_limits back
       on by default, and it no longer spits out "Operation not permitted" to
       syslog (closes: #171673).
     - Password expiry works again (closes: #153235).
     - 'ssh -q' suppresses login banner (closes: #134589).
     - sshd doesn't lie to PAM about invalid usernames (closes: #157078).
     - ssh-add prints key comment on each prompt (closes: #181869).
     - Punctuation formatting fixed in man pages (closes: #191131).
     - EnableSSHKeysign documented in ssh_config(5) (closes: #224457).
   * Add 'UsePAM yes' to /etc/ssh/sshd_config on upgrade from versions older
     than this, to maintain the standard Debian sshd configuration.
   * Comment out PAMAuthenticationViaKbdInt and RhostsAuthentication in
     sshd_config on upgrade. Neither option is supported any more.
   * Privilege separation and PAM are now properly supported together, so
     remove both debconf questions related to them and simply set it
     unconditionally in newly generated sshd_config files (closes: #228838).
   * ServerAliveInterval implemented upstream, so ProtocolKeepAlives is now a
     compatibility alias. The semantics differ slightly, though; see
     ssh_config(5) for details.
   * Implement SSH1 support for ServerAliveInterval using SSH_MSG_IGNORE. As
     documented in ssh_config(5), it's not as good as the SSH2 version.
   * Remove -fno-builtin-log, -DHAVE_MMAP_ANON_SHARED, and
     -D__FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 compiler options, which are no longer necessary.
   * Update config.guess and config.sub from autotools-dev 20040105.1.
   * Darren Tucker:
     - Reset signal status when starting pam auth thread, prevent hanging
       during PAM keyboard-interactive authentications.
     - Fix a non-security-critical segfault in PAM authentication.
   * Add debconf template translations:
     - Greek (thanks, Konstantinos Margaritis; closes: #232843).
     - Italian (thanks, Renato Gini; closes: #234777).
