Allows running + + dbclient user1@host1,user2@host2,user3@host3 + + to end up at host3 via the other two, using SSH TCP forwarding. It's a bit + like onion-routing. All connections are established from the local machine. + The comma-separated syntax can also be used for scp/rsync, eg + + rsync -a -e dbclient m@gateway,m2@host,martello:/home/matt/ ~/backup/ + + to bounce through a few hosts. + +- Add -I "idle timeout" option (contributed by Farrell Aultman) + +- Allow restrictions on authorized_keys logins such as restricting commands + to be run etc. This is a subset of those allowed by OpenSSH, doesn't + yet allow restricting source host. + +- Use vfork() for scp on uClinux + +- Default to PATH=/usr/bin:/bin for shells. + +- Report errors if -R forwarding fails + +- Add counter mode cipher support, which avoids some security problems with the + standard CBC mode. + +- Support [email protected] delayed compression for client/server. It can be + required for the Dropbear server with the '-Z' option. This is useful for + security as it avoids exposing the server to attacks on zlib by + unauthenticated remote users, though requires client side support. + +- options.h has been split into options.h (user-changable) and sysoptions.h + (less commonly changed) + +- Support "dbclient -s sftp" to specify a subsystem + +- Fix a bug in replies to channel requests that could be triggered by recent + versions of PuTTY + 0.51 - Thu 27 March 2008 - Make a copy of password fields rather erroneously relying on getwpnam()
