Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist From the readme: Scanssh scans the given addresses and networks for running SSH servers. It will query their version number and displays the results in a list.
This program was originally written under OpenBSD as a personal measurement tool. However, besides gathering statistics, it's also useful for other purposes such as ensuring that all machines on your network run the latest SSH versions, etc... License: BSD URL: <http://www.monkey.org/~provos/scanssh/> ---- [Cc'ed to debian-devel because of earlier discussion and because of questions I pose below.] NOTES: - A test version of the package is available at <http://people.debian.org/~rweber/prelim/>. Please note that it is a TEST package and the version will not be incremented for the final release. (The only non-potato box I have is a chroot, so this is barely tested yet.) - Upstream agreed with me that the semantics of the -E option (whether to exit if the exclude file is not specified/found) should change, and supplied me a patch from the CVS. I want to avoid changing this option between releases, but this makes my package inconsistent with the published version. It *is* documented as the new usage, but does anyone think that this is a particularly bad idea? - License is BSD, except that it diffs with the license in /usr/share/common-licenses/BSD: ---------------------------- C U T H E R E ---------------------------- diff bsd /usr/share/common-licenses/BSD 0a1 > Copyright (c) The Regents of the University of California. 11,12c12,14 < 3.
