Thu Apr 29 10:46:21 1999  Timo J. Rinne  <tri@ssh.fi>

        * Replaced OSF1/C2 security support with more complete SIA
          (Security Integration Architecture).

Mon Feb 22 10:00:12 1999  Timo J. Rinne  <tri@ssh.fi>

        * Added snprintf from ssh2.

        * Tatu's sprintf -> snprintf fixes.

        * Fixed potential buffer overflows.

        * Kerberos authentication disabled, if client is suid-root.
          This is the only way to avoid security problems that are
          in Kerberos rather than in ssh.

Wed Nov 25 00:04:11 1998  Tatu Ylonen  <ylo@ssh.fi>

        * sshd.c (sgi_project_setup): patches from Luigi Pugnetti
          <luigi@symbolic.it>, Eivind Gjelseth <eivind@ii.uib.no>,
          Randolph J. Herber <herber@fnal.gov>, Sevo Stille <sevo@inm.de>.

        * sshd.c (sgi_project_acct_on): patches from Vern Staats,
          staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil.

        * sshd.c (login_permitted): Added support for locked accounts on
          AIX.  Thanks to "Delius, Felix von"
          <Felix.von-Delius@dresdner-bank.com>.

        * login.c: Improvements for glibc 2.0.100+ from D.A. Harris
          <rodmur@ecst.csuchico.edu>.

Tue Nov 24 23:27:20 1998  Tatu Ylonen  <ylo@ssh.fi>

        * login.c: Removed assignment to ux.ut_exit.e_{termination,exit},
          because they are already zeroed and the assignment is causing
          problems on some platforms.

        * Fixed uninitialized variable err in sgi_project_setup (from
          Eivind Gjelseth <eivind@ii.uib.no>).

        * ssh-agent.c: Fixed -D (from Ian Goldberg
<iang@cs.berkeley.edu>).

        * Fixed undefined __udiv_qrnnd bug on Solaris (reported by Karl
          Berry <karl@suite.deas.harvard.edu>).

        * Fixed a bug in idle timeouts (reported by "David
          M. Dandarnobody"@nowhere).

        * Fixed deattack.c on Cray (patch from Andreas Schott
          <schott@rzg.mpg.de>).

        * Fixed x11 forwarding on SunOS 4.1.4 (gethostbyname bug, reported
          by Bradford Hull <brad@tera.com>.

        * Added snprintf from ssh2.  Changed most sprintfs to snprintf.

        * Fixed a hard-to-exploit security bug in Kerberos code.

        * Added length limitations in manu sprintfs.

Mon Jul 13 16:23:15 1998  Tero Kivinen  <kivinen@ssh.fi>

        * Removed extra ux.ut_syslen setting. Reported by Felix von
        Leitner <leitner@amdiv.de>.
