ssh for DEBIAN
--------------

ssh-1.2.20:

all is left as it is in the original package apart from:


It is linked against the standard shared libraries for zlib and gpm.

login.c has been modified to use libc routines to access utmp.

The -with-libwrap flag was given to configure, so it takes notice of
/etc/hosts.(allow|deny).  If you want to restore default sshd behavior, add
a line to /etc/hosts.allow like this:

  sshd: ALL

--- Problems logging in with RSA authentication:

If you have trouble logging in with RSA authentication then the problem is
probably caused by the fact that you have your home directory writable by
group, as well as user (this is the default on Debian systems).

Depending upon other settings on your system (i.e. other users being in your
group) this could open a security hole, so you will need to make your home
directory writable only by yourself.  Run this command, as yourself:

  chmod g-w ~/

to remove group write permissions.
