102: If the Postfix sendmail replacement is installed on a system an

107: ships with OpenBSD) is the mailer. As of version 1.6.5, sudo passes
108: the mailer an environment that is not subject to influence from the

1.365 jason 146: is being upgraded from OpenSSH 3.0 to OpenSSH 3.0.2 to fix a few problems:
1.357 deraadt 147: <p>
148: <ul>
149: <li>A security hole that may allow an attacker to partially authenticate
150: if -- and only if -- the administrator has enabled KerberosV.
151: <br>
152: By default, OpenSSH KerberosV support only becomes active after KerberosV
153: has been properly configured.
154: <p>
155: <li>An excessive memory clearing bug (which we believe to be unexploitable)
156: also exists, but since this may cause daemon crashes, we are providing a
157: patch as well.
158: <p>
1.365 jason 159: <li>A vulnerability in environment passing in the <code>UseLogin</code>
160: <i>sshd</i> option
161: <p>
1.357 deraadt 162: <li>Various other non-critical fixes.

1.365 jason 165: Effectively an upgrade of OpenSSH 3.0 to OpenSSH 3.0.2,

170: <li><font color=#009000><strong>001: INSTALL ISSUE: November 12, 2001</strong></font><br>
171: A small bug in the installation script causes the <tt>/etc/hosts</tt> file to
172: be incorrectly formed.<br>
173: The resulting file contains a line which reads like:<p>
174: <tt>
175: #.#.#.# hostname. hostname
176: </tt>
177: <p>
178: This line should actually read something like:<p>

180: #.#.#.# hostname.domainname.com hostname
181: </tt>
182: <p>
183: To correct this problem, simply edit the file and insert the domainname in
