OpenSSH is almost completely compatible with the commercial SSH 1.2.x.
|
|
There are, however, a few exceptions that you will need to bear in
|
|
mind while upgrading:
|
|
|
|
1. OpenSSH does not support any patented transport algorithms.
|
|
|
|
Only 3DES and Blowfish can be selected. This difference may manifest
|
|
itself in the ssh command refusing to read its config files.
|
|
|
|
Solution: Edit /etc/ssh/ssh_config and select a different "Cipher"
|
|
option ("3des" or "blowfish").
|
|
|
|
2. Old versions of commercial SSH encrypt host keys with IDEA
|
|
|
|
The old versions of SSH used a patented algorithm to encrypt their
|
|
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_key
|
|
|
|
This problem will manifest as sshd not being able to read its host
|
|
key.
|
|
|
|
Solution: You will need to run the *commercial* version of ssh-keygen
|
|
on the host's private key:
|
|
|
|
ssh-keygen -u /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key
|
|
|
|
3. Incompatible changes to sshd_config format.
|
|
|
|
OpenSSH extends the sshd_config file format in a number of ways. There
|
|
is currently one change which is incompatible with the old.
|
|
|
|
Commercial SSH controlled logging using the "QuietMode" and
|
|
"FascistLogging" directives. OpenSSH introduces a more general set of
|
|
logging options "SyslogFacility" and "LogLevel". See the sshd manual
|
|
page for details.
