I know nothing about SELinux, so can't really comment on the patch. In general, however, we encourage people wanting to patch openssh to talk to upstream first: Trying to maintain substantial patch-sets between openssh relseases just causes pain, particularly if the feature involved is later implemented in upstream openssh, with differing config options &c. Furthermore, if upstream don't like a patch, we are naturally reluctant to deploy it ourselves. Have the bits of this patch that aren't Debian-specific been even shown to upstream? If not, please don't go slamming them willy-nilly into Debian's openssh. Matthew -- "At least you know where you are with Microsoft." "True.
