SSH is intended to replace rlogin and rsh, and to provide secure encrypted communications between two untrusted hosts over an insecure network. X11 connections and arbitrary TCP/IP ports can also be forwarded over the secure channel. OpenSSH is OpenBSD's version of the last free version of SSH, bringing it up to date in terms of security and features. This package includes the core files necessary for both the OpenSSH client and server. To make this package useful, you should also install openssh-clients, openssh-server, or both. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Changes method how to detect sockets for x11 forwarding in ipv6 disabled environment. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #735889 - sshd continues to try to bind to IPv6 when IPv6 is disabled; breaks X11 forwarding. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=735889 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
