Programming:
- Grep for 'XXX' comments and fix
- Integrate contrib/mdoc2man.pl so platforms which only have the troff
'an' macros can have readable manpages.
- Write a test program that calls stat() to search for EGD/PRNGd socket
rather than use the (non-portable) "test -S".
- Replacement for setproctitle() - HP-UX support only currently
- Handle changing passwords for the non-PAM expired password case
- Improve PAM support (a pam_lastlog module will cause sshd to exit)
and maybe support alternate forms of authenications like OPIE via
pam?
- Rework PAM ChallengeResponseAuthentication
- Use kbdint request packet with 0 prompts for informational messages
- Use different PAM service name for kbdint vs regular auth (suggest from
Solar Designer)
- Ability to select which ChallengeResponseAuthentications may be used
and order to try them in e.g. "ChallengeResponseAuthentication skey, pam"
- Complete Tru64 SIA support
- Finish integrating kernel-level auditing code for IRIX and SOLARIS
(Gilbert.r.loomis@saic.com)
- sftp-server: Rework to step down to 32bit ints if the platform
lacks 'long long' == 64bit (Notable SCO w/ SCO compiler)
- Linux hangs for 20 seconds when you do "sleep 20&exit". All current
solutions break scp or leaves processes hanging around after the ssh
connection has ended. It seems to be linked to two things. One
select() under Linux is not as nice as others, and two the children
of the shell are not killed on exiting the shell. Redhat have an excellent
description of this in their RPM package.
- Build an automated test suite
- Verify that It's safe to enable NGROUPS_MAX under NeXTStep for
groupaccess features. (mouring@eviladmin.org)
- 64-bit builds on HP-UX 11.X (stevesk@pobox.com):
- utmp/wtmp get corrupted (something in loginrec?)
- no 64-bit vhangup(); ptmx systems shouldn't need this
- can't build with PAM (no 64-bit libpam yet)
Documentation:
- More and better
- Install FAQ?
- General FAQ on S/Key, TIS, RSA, RSA2, DSA, etc and suggestions on when it
would be best to use them.
- Create a Documentation/ directory?
Clean up configure/makefiles:
- Clean up configure.in - There are a few double #defined variables
left to do. HAVE_LOGIN is one of them. Consider NOT looking for
information in wtmpx or utmpx or any of that stuff if it's not detected
from the start
- Fails to compile when cross compile.
(vinschen@redhat.com)
- Replace the whole u_intXX_t evilness in acconfig.h with something better???
- Consider splitting the u_intXX_t test for sys/bitype.h into seperate test
to allow people to (right/wrongfully) link against Bind directly.
Packaging:
- Solaris: Update packaging scripts and build new sysv startup scripts
Ideally the package metadata should be generated by autoconf.
(gilbert.r.loomis@saic.com)
- HP-UX: Provide DEPOT package scripts.
