changes:
-a security fix which was already in pkgsrc (0.46nb1)
-bugfixes
-zlib compression for dbclient
-Set "low delay" TOS bit
-client keyboard-interactive mode support
-logging improvements
-Added aes-256 cipher and sha1-96 hmac
-allow connections to listening forwarded ports from remote machines
developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.

Noted by waldeck of hk2.uwaterloo.ca via pkgsrc-bugs.
Bump PKGREVISION.
Tested build on NetBSD and Linux. Tested dropbear server on NetBSD.
(This is during a freeze. Other stuff to be done later:
update to latest version. Install man pages. Mention "client" in
COMMENT and DESCR. Use CONF_FILES and sysconfdir. And maybe install the
"scp" tool also.)
changes:
- Makefile no longer appends 'static' to statically linked binaries
- Add optional SSH_ASKPASS support to the client
- Respect HOST_LOOKUP option
- Fix accidentally removed "return;" statement which was removed in 0.44
(causing clients which sent an empty terminal-modes string to fail to
connect - including pssh, ssh.com, danger hiptop). (patches
independently from Paul Fox, David Horwitt and Sven-Ola Tuecke)
- Read "y/n" response for fingerprints from /dev/tty directly so that dbclient
will work with scp.
changes:
-IPv6 support
-client added
-bugfixes
XXX dropbear wants to use /dev/random per default now which makes it
unusable on systems w/o entropy source. I've patched it back to
/dev/urandom. There might be security concerns.
in the process. (More information on tech-pkg.)
Bump PKGREVISION and BUILDLINK_DEPENDS of all packages using libtool and
installing .la files.
Bump PKGREVISION (only) of all packages depending directly on the above
via a buildlink3 include.
- SECURITY: Don't try to free() uninitialised variables in DSS verification
code. Thanks to Arne Bernin for pointing out this bug. This is possibly
exploitable, all users with DSS and pubkey-auth compiled in are advised to
upgrade.
- Clean up agent forwarding socket files correctly, patch from Gerrit Pape.
- Don't go into an infinite loop when portforwarding to servers which don't
send any initial data/banner. Patch from Nikola Vladov
- Fix for network vs. host byte order in logging remote TCP ports, also
from Gerrit Pape.
- Initialise many pointers to NULL, for general safety. Also checked cleanup
code for mp_ints (related to security issues above).
Changes:
0.38 - Sat Oct 11 2003 16:28:13 +0800
o Default hostkey path changed to /etc/dropbear/dropbear_{rsa,dss}_host_key
rather than /etc/dropbear_{rsa,dss}_host_key
o Added SMALL and MULTI text files which have info on compiling for multiple
binaries or small binaries
o Allow for commandline definition of some options.h settings
(without warnings)
o Be more careful handling EINTR
o More fixes for channel closing
o Added multi-binary support
o Improved logging of IPs, now get logged in all cases
o Don't chew cpu when waiting for version identification string, also
make sure that we kick off people if they don't auth within 5 minutes.
o Various small fixes, warnings etc
o sftp support works (relies on OpenSSH sftp binary or similar)
o Added --disable-shadow option (requested by the floppyfw guys)
0.37 - Wed Sept 24 2003 19:42:12 +0800
o Various portability fixes, fixes for Solaris 9, Tru64 5.1, Mac OS X 10.2,
AIX, BSDs
o Updated LibTomMath to 0.27 and LibTomCrypt to 0.90
o Renamed util.{c,h} to dbutil.{c,h} to avoid conflicts with system util.h
o Added some small changes so it'll work with AIX (plus Linux Affinity).
Thanks to Shig for them.
More bugfixes, etc.
The search for a small Secure Shell server to fit on a laptop with 4
megs ram and no hard disk was fruitless, so Matt Johnston decided to
write his own, and Dropbear is the result. It implements various
features of the SSH 2 protocol, including X11 and Authentication Agent
forwarding. Dropbear is Open Source software, distributed under a
MIT-style license.
Features
* A small memory footprint - Dropbear can compile to a 110kB
statically linked binary with uClibc (and only minimal options
selected).
* Implements X11 forwarding, and authentication-agent forwarding
for OpenSSH clients
* Compatible with OpenSSH ~/.ssh/authorized_keys public key
authentication
* Features can easily be disabled when compiling to save space.
* Preliminary TCP forwarding support (-L style only)
