CommitLineData
1Programming:
2- Grep for 'XXX' comments and fix
3
4- Link order is incorrect for some systems using Kerberos 4 and AFS. Result
5 is multiple inclusion of DES symbols. Holger Trapp
6 <holger.trapp@hrz.tu-chemnitz.de> reports that changing the configure
7 generated link order from:
8 -lresolv -lkrb -lz -lnsl -lutil -lkafs -lkrb -ldes -lcrypto
9 to:
10 -lresolv -lkrb -lz -lnsl -lutil -lcrypto -lkafs -lkrb -ldes
11 fixing the problem.
12
13- Integrate contrib/mdoc2man.pl so platforms which only have the troff
14 'an' macros can have readable manpages.
15
16- Write a test program that calls stat() to search for EGD/PRNGd socket
17 rather than use the (non-portable) "test -S".
18
19- Replacement for setproctitle() - HP-UX support only currently
20
21- Handle changing passwords for the non-PAM expired password case
22
23- Improve PAM support (a pam_lastlog module will cause sshd to exit)
24 and maybe support alternate forms of authenications like OPIE via
25 pam?
26
27- Rework PAM ChallengeResponseAuthentication
28 - Use kbdint request packet with 0 prompts for informational messages
29 - Use different PAM service name for kbdint vs regular auth (suggest from
30 Solar Designer)
31 - Ability to select which ChallengeResponseAuthentications may be used
32 and order to try them in e.g. "ChallengeResponseAuthentication skey, pam"
33
34- Complete Tru64 SIA support
35 - It looks like we could merge it into the password auth code to cut down
36 on diff size. Maybe PAM password auth too?
37
38- Finish integrating kernel-level auditing code for IRIX and SOLARIS

41- sftp-server: Rework to step down to 32bit ints if the platform
42 lacks 'long long' == 64bit (Notable SCO w/ SCO compiler)
43
44- Linux hangs for 20 seconds when you do "sleep 20&exit". All current
45 solutions break scp or leaves processes hanging around after the ssh
46 connection has ended. It seems to be linked to two things. One
47 select() under Linux is not as nice as others, and two the children
48 of the shell are not killed on exiting the shell. Redhat have an excellent
49 description of this in their RPM package.
50
51- Build an automated test suite
52
53- Verify that It's safe to enable NGROUPS_MAX under NeXTStep for
54 groupaccess features. (mouring@eviladmin.org)
55
56- 64-bit builds on HP-UX 11.X (stevesk@pobox.com):
57 - utmp/wtmp get corrupted (something in loginrec?)
58 - can't build with PAM (no 64-bit libpam yet)
59
60- Modify rijndael to support Cray 64bit machines.
61
62Documentation:
63- More and better
64
65- Install FAQ?
66
67- General FAQ on S/Key, TIS, RSA, RSA2, DSA, etc and suggestions on when it
68 would be best to use them.
69
70- Create a Documentation/ directory?
71
72Clean up configure/makefiles:
73- Clean up configure.in - There are a few double #defined variables
74 left to do. HAVE_LOGIN is one of them. Consider NOT looking for
75 information in wtmpx or utmpx or any of that stuff if it's not detected
76 from the start
77
78- Fails to compile when cross compile.
79 (vinschen@redhat.com)
80
81- Replace the whole u_intXX_t evilness in acconfig.h with something better???
82
83- Consider splitting the u_intXX_t test for sys/bitype.h into seperate test
84 to allow people to (right/wrongfully) link against Bind directly.
85
86Packaging:
87- Solaris: Update packaging scripts and build new sysv startup scripts
88 Ideally the package metadata should be generated by autoconf.
89 (gilbert.r.loomis@saic.com)
90
91- HP-UX: Provide DEPOT package scripts.
