Hi folks, Just a HEADSUP to all of you actively using the tcp_wrappers/libwrap functionality in sshd: Starting with the next OpenSSH version 6.7, which will be released soon, upstream removed support for tcp_wrappers/libwrap from the sources. While that's bad from a compatibility point of view, the upstream developers are adamant about this change for security reasons. So, if you configured /etc/hosts.allow and/or /etc/hosts.deny files in your Cygwin installation to block certain connections to your sshd service, you will have to find other means to do that ASAP: - Utilize the sshd_config Match rule. - Utilize your firewall. Hope that helps, Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Maintainer cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat
