Hi All.
	OpenSSH is getting ready for a release soon, so we are asking for all 
interested parties to test a snapshot.

	Changes include:

* sshd will now re-exec itself for each new connection (the "-e" option 
is required when running sshd in debug mode).

* PAM password authentication has been (re)added.

* Interface improvements to sftp(1)

* Many bug fixes and improvements, for details see the ChangeLog and
http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=822

The OpenBSD version is available in CVS HEAD:
http://www.openbsd.org/anoncvs.html

Portable snapshots are available at:
ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/OpenSSH/portable/snapshot/
or one of its mirrors listed at http://www.openssh.com/portable.html#ftp

	Please test!  Running the regression tests supplied with Portable does 
not require installation and is a simply:
$ ./configure && make tests

	Testing on suitable non-production systems is also appreciated.  Please 
send reports of success or failure to openssh-unix-dev.

	Thanks,
		-Daz.

     Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
