-The GSI-OpenSSH development team announces the release of version 3.0 of
-the GSI-Enabled OpenSSH software distribution. GSI-OpenSSH 3.0 is based
-on OpenSSH 3.7.1p2 and NCSA's latest GSI patch for that version of
-OpenSSH. A summary of the major changes found in this version is given
-at the end of this document.
+GSI-OpenSSH 3.8, based on OpenSSH 4.3p2, is now available from:
-In response to interest members of the user community have shown in
-a mode where GSI-OpenSSH does not override a previously-installed system
-SSH, we have redesigned the main package so that the default behaviour is
-to make available in $GLOBUS_LOCATION/bin/ only the commands 'gsissh',
-'gsisftp', and 'gsiscp'. Those users who wish for GSI-OpenSSH to also
-install 'ssh' and the rest of the standard SSH commands into
-$GLOBUS_LOCATION/bin/ should add the new "compatibility package"
-onto their installation.

-It is our understanding that OpenSSH 3.8 will soon be released. We would
-solicit feedback on our package's new structure and will incorporate
-useful comments and suggestions (perhaps when we address moving to OpenSSH
-3.8).

+ZLIB_VERSION in zlib.h for zlib versions with known vulnerabilities.
+See <http://www.zlib.net/> for details on zlib vulnerabilities. The
+current acceptable versions of zlib are 1.1.4 and 1.2.3. In cases
+where your vendor has not provided a secure version of zlib, please
+install the latest version of zlib in an alternate path and set the
+--with-zlib GSI_OPENSSH_GPTMACRO option. For example:
+
+ gpt-build -verbose gsi_openssh_bundle-3.8-src.tar.gz gcc32dbg \
+ GSI_OPENSSH_GPTMACRO="--with-zlib=/usr/local/zlib-1.2.3"
