[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: OpenSSH-2.9p1-2

[Corinna Vinschen <vinschen at redhat dot com>]

I've updated the version of OpenSSH in cygwin/latest to 2.9p1-2.

This version drops the restriction to change the user context
on NT/W2K only with password authentication. This allows
installing sshd under LocalSystem account and switching to
various user accounts using RSA/DSA authentication.

WARNING: Switching user context without password requires well
maintained /etc/passwd and /etc/group files and (currently)
ntsec ON!

===================================================================
Please note that OpenSSH-2.9p1 uses version 2 protocol now by
default! So if you encounter problems trying to connect to
a site, check first if you expect ssh using version 1 protocol
implicitely. You will have to readjust your config files, perhaps.
===================================================================

Most mirror sites already have that version.
 
To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on
the http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin web page.  This downloads setup.exe
to your system.

Run setup and answer all of the questions.  PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE
choose a mirror site for your download.  The 'sources.redhat.com' site
is badly overloaded.

Note that if this is the first time that you've run the new GUI version
of setup, it will currently download the whole cygwin net release again.
After this point it will only download what is needed.

If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin
mailing list at:  cygwin@sources.redhat.com .  I would appreciate
if you would use this mailing list rather than emailing me directly.
This includes ideas and comments about the setup utility or Cygwin
in general.

If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin mailing list is
the appropriate place.
