Yellow Dog Linux Bugfix Announcement
------------------------------------
Package: openssh
Issue Date: June 23, 2001
Priority: medium
Advisory ID: YDU-20010623-1
1. Topic:
The openssh client that shipped with YDL 2.0
had broken ssh 1 support.
2. Problem:
When trying to connect to an ssh 1-based server,
openssh would report an error regarding a "bad packet
length" and then would disconnect. The temporary
solution for this was to pass the '-1' argument
to openssh. This argument forces openssh to use
ssh 1 mode. These updates packages fix the problem
and no longer require forcing '-1'.
3. Solution:
a) Updating via yup...
We suggest that you use the Yellow Dog Update Program (yup)
to keep your system up-to-date. The following command(s) will
automatically retrieve and install the fixed version of
this update onto your system:
yup update openssh
yup update openssh-askpass
yup update openssh-askpass-gnome
yup update openssh-clients
yup update openssh-server
b) Updating manually...
The update can also be retrieved manually from our ftp site
below along with the rpm command that should be used to install
the update. (Please use a mirror site)
ftp://ftp.terraplex.com/pub/yellowdog/updates/yellowdog-2.0/ppc/RPMS/
rpm -Fvh openssh-2.9p2-1.ppc.rpm
rpm -Fvh openssh-askpass-2.9p2-1.ppc.rpm
rpm -Fvh openssh-askpass-gnome-2.9p2-1.ppc.rpm
rpm -Fvh openssh-clients-2.9p2-1.ppc.rpm
rpm -Fvh openssh-server-2.9p2-1.ppc.rpm

examine the md5sum with the following command: rpm --checksig --nogpg filename
