1 The GSI-OpenSSH development team announces the release of version 3.0 of
2 the GSI-Enabled OpenSSH software distribution. GSI-OpenSSH 3.0 is based
3 on OpenSSH 3.7.1p2 and NCSA's latest GSI patch for that version of
4 OpenSSH. A summary of the major changes found in this version is given
5 at the end of this document.
7 In response to interest members of the user community have shown in
8 a mode where GSI-OpenSSH does not override a previously-installed system
9 SSH, we have redesigned the main package so that the default behaviour is
10 to make available in $GLOBUS_LOCATION/bin/ only the commands 'gsissh',
11 'gsisftp', and 'gsiscp'. Those users who wish for GSI-OpenSSH to also
12 install 'ssh' and the rest of the standard SSH commands into
13 $GLOBUS_LOCATION/bin/ should add the new "compatibility package"
14 onto their installation.
16 It is our understanding that OpenSSH 3.8 will soon be released. We would
17 solicit feedback on our package's new structure and will incorporate
18 useful comments and suggestions (perhaps when we address moving to OpenSSH
