Version: N/A; reported 2001-12-18
Severity: normal
"Ssh (Secure Shell) is a program for logging into a remote machine and
for executing commands in a remote machine. It is intended to replace
rlogin and rsh, and provide secure encrypted communications between two
untrusted hosts over an insecure network. X11 connections and
arbitrary TCP/IP ports can also be forwarded over the secure channel.
It is intended as a replacement for rlogin, rsh and rcp, and can be
used to provide rdist, and rsync with a secure communication channel."
I took over ssh-nonfree a few months ago because I was interested in its
Kerberos 5 support, which I use routinely. (At the time, that code was
specific to ssh-nonfree; OpenSSH gained compatible code only a few weeks
ago.)
Unfortunately, maintaining this package from within the US has proven to
be a major hassle: although the EAR allows me to re-export ssh-nonfree
as is, restrictions seem to apply once I integrate domestic crypto code
(in this case, MIT krb5; Heimdal might have worked, but MIT's
implementation is more mature).
Moreover, my interest in the package is essentially nil now that OpenSSH
finally includes compatible krb5 support -- particularly given that
Sam Hartman <hartmans> has announced his intent to produce OpenSSH
packages with that code enabled.
As such, I am orphaning ssh-nonfree. (I'd also like to suggest that it
should disappear from the archive once Woody has been released unless it
has a new maintainer by then.)

Having concluded that ssh-nonfree no longer serves a useful purpose
within Debian, I have just uploaded new dummy packages to ease the
transition to OpenSSH. See also
