Programming:

- Grep for 'XXX' comments and fix
- Link order is incorrect for some systems using Kerberos 4 and AFS. Result
- is multiple inclusion of DES symbols. Holger Trapp

<holger.trapp@hrz.tu-chemnitz.de> reports that changing the configure
generated link order from:
-lresolv -lkrb -lz -lnsl -lutil -lkafs -lkrb -ldes -lcrypto

- Write a test program that calls stat() to search for EGD/PRNGd socket
- rather than use the (non-portable) "test -S".

- More platforms for for setproctitle() emulation (testing needed)
-- Handle changing passwords for the non-PAM expired password case
-
-- Improve PAM support (a pam_lastlog module will cause sshd to exit)
- and maybe support alternate forms of authentications like OPIE via
- pam?
-
-- Rework PAM ChallengeResponseAuthentication
- - Use kbdint request packet with 0 prompts for informational messages
+- Improve PAM ChallengeResponseAuthentication
+ - Informational messages
- Use different PAM service name for kbdint vs regular auth (suggest from
Solar Designer)
- Ability to select which ChallengeResponseAuthentications may be used
- Finish integrating kernel-level auditing code for IRIX and SOLARIS

-- sftp-server: Rework to step down to 32bit ints if the platform
- lacks 'long long' == 64bit (Notable SCO w/ SCO compiler)
-
-- Linux hangs for 20 seconds when you do "sleep 20&exit". All current
- solutions break scp or leaves processes hanging around after the ssh
- connection has ended. It seems to be linked to two things. One
- select() under Linux is not as nice as others, and two the children
- of the shell are not killed on exiting the shell.
- A short run-down of what happens:
- - The shell starts up, and starts its own session. As a side-effect, it
- gets its own process group.
- - The child forks off sleep, and because it's in the background, puts it
- into its own process group. The sleep command inherits a copy of the
- shell's descriptor for the tty as its stdout.
- - The shell exits, but doesn't SIGHUP all of its child PIDs like it probably
- should(?)
- - The sshd server attempts to read from the master side of the pty, and
- while there are still process with the pty open, no EOF is produced.
- - The sleep command exits, closes its descriptor, sshd detects the EOF, and
- the connection gets closed.
- Ways we've tried fixing this in sshd, and why they didn't work out:
- - SIGHUP the sshd's process group.
- - The shell is in its own process group.
- - Track process group IDs of all children before we reap them (via an extra
- field in Session structures which holds the pgid for each child pid), and
- SIGHUP the pgid when we reap.
- - Background commands are in yet another process group.
- - Close the connection when the child dies.
- - Background commands may need to write data to the connection. Also
- prematurely truncates output from some commands (scp server, the
- famous "dd if=/dev/zero bs=1000 count=100" case).
- Known workarounds:
- - bash: shopt huponexit on
- - tcsh: none
- - zsh: setopt HUP (usually the default setting)
- (taken from email from Jason Stone to openssh-unix-dev, 5 May 2001)
- - pdksh: ?
- This appears to affect NetKit rsh under Linux as well: it behaves the same
- with 'sleep 20 & exit'.

- 64-bit builds on HP-UX 11.X (stevesk@pobox.com):
- utmp/wtmp get corrupted (something in loginrec?)
- can't build with PAM (no 64-bit libpam yet)

Clean up configure/makefiles:
- Clean up configure.ac - There are a few double #defined variables
left to do. HAVE_LOGIN is one of them. Consider NOT looking for
information in wtmpx or utmpx or any of that stuff if it's not detected
from the start
-- Fails to compile when cross compile.

-
- Replace the whole u_intXX_t evilness in acconfig.h with something better???
+ - Do it in configure.ac
- Consider splitting the u_intXX_t test for sys/bitype.h into seperate test
to allow people to (right/wrongfully) link against Bind directly.
- Consider splitting configure.ac into seperate files which do logically
- similar tests. E.g move all the type detection stuff into one file,
+ similar tests. E.g move all the type detection stuff into one file,
entropy related stuff into another.
Packaging:
-- Solaris: Update packaging scripts and build new sysv startup scripts
- Ideally the package metadata should be generated by autoconf.

-
- HP-UX: Provide DEPOT package scripts.
