OpenSSH 4.9 is out!

OpenSSH Logo OpenSSH 4.9 is out!

This is a “must have” tool for my day-to-day job. Secure remote management, tunneling or file transfer. As usual, lot of bug fixes and improvements.

I found the following interesting to notice:

  • Added chroot(2) support for sshd(8)
  • Accept the PermitRootLogin directive in a sshd_config(5) Match block. Allows for, e.g. permitting root only from the local network.
  • Disable execution of ~/.ssh/rc for sessions where a command has been forced by the sshd_config ForceCommand directive.
