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 GSI-OpenSSH 3.0 is available for download from
18 <ftp://ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu/aces/gssapi-openssh/bundle/3.0/>

24 We appreciate your feedback and help in testing this version. Please
