Test OpenSSH 3.6 Snapshots 23

Posted by timothy from the good-seats-are-still-available dept.
Dan writes "OpenBSD's Markus Friedl is requesting everyone to test the latest OpenSSH 3.6 nightly snapshots to help ensure a quality final release. The OpenSSH Portability Team takes the pure OpenSSH version and adds portability code so that OpenSSH can run on many other operating systems. Folks, download snapshots for your OS from one of these mirrors."

      The portable [openssh.com] page claims the portable version of OpenSSH will run on Cygwin.

      Doggoned employers ... OpenSSH still not running on Windows 2K, is it ?

      There was this [networksimplicity.com] project which used to produce a very easily installable distribution, but the author has ceased maintaining the package, due to the Cygwin installation process being much easier nowadays.

      Still, think about using Linux (or OpenBSD!) instead :-)

      Ciao,
    • How much can you reliably run through an SSH connection to w2k, and still do what you need to be done?

      To a certain limited extent, it's possible depending upon your application (aka a w2k DNS server). But as far as convenience of use for most major vendor apps on w2k, ssh isn't viable, unless either MS or someone else is able to encapsulate a PC anywhere through a tunneled ssh connection (similiar to what you can do with VNC).
      • Personally, the main reason I would like to use ssh on win2k is to make vnc secure.

        use ssh tunnelling to connect to a remote comp running a vnc server that only listens to localhost... then connect to localhost on the vnc client computer. voila, encrypted(and probably mucho slower) vnc.

        However, the realvnc windows client does not allow you to connect to a 'localhost' server.. so whoops?

    How about a changelog? What's new? Why should I want this release? There's none on the pages mentioned above.
