Announce: portable OpenSSH 2.1.1p3
The 2.1.1p3 release of portable OpenSSH has been uploaded to the
OpenBSD ftp master site. In a few hours it will be available from one
of the many mirrors listed at:

http://www.openssh.com/portable.html

This release fixes several bugs reported since the previous release
and extends portability to NeXT and Reliant Unix.

As usual, the OpenBSD team has been hard at work further polishing and
enhancing OpenSSH. This release brings a new configuration directive
"MaxStartups" which mitigates connection flooding attacks, further
details are in the sshd man-page.

Another noteworthy difference from previous releases is that
'FallBackToRsh' now defaults to 'no'. Users of this feature may need
to edit their /etc/ssh_config or ~/.ssh/config files to achieve the
same behavior.

Again, thanks to those who reported bugs, tested the snapshot and sent
fixes.

Regards,
Damien Miller
