Corinna,
I just installed OpenSSH 2.5.1p2-1 and the upgrade was SMOOTH. I went an
extra step by deleting my old config file (moving them to another directory,
actually) and running ssh-(host|user)-config on a 'virgin' machine.
Perfection.
I must say that, by far, the best new feature is the sftp client.
As always, thank you (and the rest of the Cygwin team) for your hard work,
Mike Erdely

Subject: Updated: OpenSSH-2.5.1p2-1
> It has finally arrived!
>
> I've updated the version of OpenSSH in cygwin/latest to 2.5.1p2-1.

> This version has several advantages over 2.3.0p1:

> - Support for SSH2 RSA keys.
>
> Note that these RSA keys don't interoperate with the SSH2 RSA keys
> generated by the developers version openssh-20001221!
> You will have to erase old SSH2 RSA keys whereever you find them
> (~/.ssh/authorized_keys2, ~/.ssh/known_hosts2, ~/.ssh/id_rsa*,
> /etc/ssh_host_rsa_key*). This is due to the fact that OpenSSH is
> now defining SSH2 RSA keys according to the IETF draft in contrast
> to it's first implementation in the developers versions.
