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.
Changes since last packaged version (2.3.0):
2.3.2
- fixed segfault due to checking the length of variables that I forgot to
remove from build_arg_vector() since the chroot root exploit fix in 2.3.0
2.3.1
- fixed stupid bug that caused rssh not to allow rsync and rdist
Note that this is (mostly) a security fix release.
Changes since last packaged version (2.2.3):
2.3.0
- modified chroot_helper to parse the config file, to avoid arbitrary
chroot() (and thus root compromise)
- numerous documentation updates
- fix for va_start()/va_end()-related segfault on 64-bit architecture
- small bit of code cleanup
+SHELL.
* Turn PKG_REGISTER_SHELLS into a variable that can be set in the shell
environment so that admins can make a choice when installing from
binary packages.
* PKG_SHELL is now a list of paths, and if the path is relative, then it
is taken to be relative to ${PREFIX}. Convert packages that set
PKG_SHELL to take advantage of this new feature by changing the full
paths to the shells into relative paths.
Based on rssh package in pkgsrc-wip by pancake at phreaker dot net,
slightly modified and updated to latest version by myself.
Claim stewardship.
Rssh is a restricted shell for use with OpenSSH, allowing only scp
and/or sftp. For example, if you have a server which you only want
to allow users to copy files off of via scp, without providing
shell access, you can use rssh to do that.
