The GSI-OpenSSH development team announces the release of version 3.0 of
the GSI-Enabled OpenSSH software distribution.  GSI-OpenSSH 3.0 is based
on OpenSSH 3.7.1p2 and NCSA's latest GSI patch for that version of
OpenSSH.  A summary of the major changes found in this version is given
at the end of this document.

In response to interest members of the user community have shown in 
a mode where GSI-OpenSSH does not override a previously-installed system 
SSH, we have redesigned the main package so that the default behaviour is 
to make available in $GLOBUS_LOCATION/bin/ only the commands 'gsissh', 
'gsisftp', and 'gsiscp'.  Those users who wish for GSI-OpenSSH to also 
install 'ssh' and the rest of the standard SSH commands into 
$GLOBUS_LOCATION/bin/ should add the new "compatibility package" 
onto their installation.

GSI-OpenSSH 3.0 is available for download from

  <ftp://ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu/aces/gssapi-openssh/bundle/3.0/>

For installation instructions, please see

GSI-OpenSSH 3.0 Major changes

   New features

      * Moved to OpenSSH 3.7.1p2 codebase.

      * Removed GSSAPI support for protocol 1.

      * Added NCSA_GSSAPI comment in version string to help identify 
        OpenSSH versions with NCSA patches for debugging purposes.

      * Added gsisftp install target.

      * Enable -static to link statically with Globus GSI libraries.  

   Bugs fixed

      * Fixed bug where client would attempt external-keyx even when 
        GSSAPI key exchange was not performed, causing compatibility 
        problems between GSSAPI mechanisms.

      * Fixed misleading "Protocol error: didn't expect packet type 34" 
        message.
