And the VPN stuff is a driving force for me. We had a very similar discussion to this during the August 2011 time frame. Similar comments were made, and as I recall, there was a coder who jumped to a defensive position as the thread wound down.
I know that OI/Sun/Oracle engineers have done a wonderful job of integrating ssh into the OI/OpenSolaris/Solaris infrastructure. They have done a great job and nothing can take that away. What hasn't come out, or at least I haven't seen it, is why an upgrade to newer code isn't possible, or why it is so difficult, or what the "bumps in the road" are. What ever the outcome, I am not expecting to see upgraded code being released for ssh/sshd soon. Personally, i.e. non $WORK systems, I am planning to leave the standard ssh stuff in place, and compile/deploy the current OpenSSH 5.9, but run it on a non-standard port. any comments are appreciated.
