openssh upgrading.

Mon Nov 17 02:47:06 EST 2014

Hi Nico,

I couldn't connect to the server remotely not only to root but also any secondary user.

My issue was with "openssh-debuginfo" rpm. I used "yum remove openssh" and reinstall rpm build 6.2p2 version again (openssh, openssh-clients and openssh-server) except "openssh-debuginfo"  

Then upgraded to 6.6p1 also and working fine.

This time i didn't use http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/repo/pkgs/openssh/x11-ssh-askpass-1.2.4.1.tar.gz to do rpm build, instead used,

sed -i -e "s/%define no_gnome_askpass 0/%define no_gnome_askpass 1/g" openssh.spec
sed -i -e "s/%define no_x11_askpass 0/%define no_x11_askpass 1/g" openssh.spec
sed -i -e "s/BuildPreReq/BuildRequires/g" openssh.spec

I just tried the 6.7p1 tarball with this procedure. Seems to work fine. The .spec file is missing the BuildRequires dependency of "/usr/bin/xmkmf" in the dependencies for the openssh-x11-aspass module, but othewise seems to work fine.
