Amiga Events : OpenSSH released for OS4 on OS4Depot

Posted by orgin on 2006/12/18 9:10:00 (2619 reads) News by the same author

Steven Solie has ported OpenSSH to AmigaOS 4.0.

This includes ssh, sftp, scp, ssh-keygen, ssh-keyscan and ssh-keysign.

OpenSSH is a FREE version of the SSH connectivity tools that technical
users of the Internet rely on. Users of telnet, rlogin, and ftp may not
realize that their password is transmitted across the Internet unencrypted,
but it is. OpenSSH encrypts all traffic (including passwords) to effectively
eliminate eavesdropping, connection hijacking, and other attacks.

This port is currently limited to the OpenSSH clients: ssh, sftp and scp.
Additional tools provided include ssh-keygen, ssh-keyscan and ssh-keysign.

Defect #2 ( serious ): Once connection established, doing a further ssh to a remote site from inside the session results in a hung terminal, as does doing an su.

Just tried and it works. [edit] One minor issue: Using sftp and "put" command to upload files I have to manually set read permission with "chmod 744 filename".

I tested the tools against Mac OS X (Intel) and Debian (PPC). I'm not a big ssh user (yet) so I don't know if the features I didn't enable are really that useful or not. Email is the best way to contact me by the way. Everything should work with a standard OS4 (update 4 or better) install. I tested everything on the latest OS4 beta.

TERM is pulled in from your shell's environment variable TERM and sent to the other side. Not my problem. Quote: Once connection established, doing a further ssh to a remote site from inside the session results in a hung terminal, as does doing an su. I'll need a detailed test case. Please send me an email.

I didn't see any troubles but then I didn't use the "put" command from in a session. I was doing stuff like this: sftp file user@machine:file I thought the modes were controlled from the server side of things?

As for the test case, its simple. ssh into host a connection established. Using this connection: ssh into host b ( from host a ) host b prompts for password Try to type in password ... nothing happens, session locked. Also ssh into host a. type su Session prompts for password Session now locked. That's all the detail you are getting because more detail than that would be to give you my unix host names and passwords.

Just tested things and it works fine if you press CTRL-D after entering your password. On the Mac OS X you have to press CTRL-D but on Debian I can hit enter as usual. Just a terminal mismatch problem it seems.
