7
8- Install FAQ?
9
10- General FAQ on S/Key, TIS, RSA, RSA2, DSA, etc and suggestions on when it
Damien Millera8e06ce2003-11-21 23:48:55 +110011 would be best to use them.
Damien Miller0b8e9002003-05-18 21:44:07 +100012
13- Create a Documentation/ directory?

Damien Miller0b8e9002003-05-18 21:44:07 +100016
Damien Miller33804262001-02-04 23:20:18 +110017- Grep for 'XXX' comments and fix
18
Damien Miller883631b2001-03-21 11:12:55 +110019- Link order is incorrect for some systems using Kerberos 4 and AFS. Result
Damien Millera8e06ce2003-11-21 23:48:55 +110020 is multiple inclusion of DES symbols. Holger Trapp
Damien Miller771bbac2001-03-27 16:10:22 +100021 <holger.trapp@hrz.tu-chemnitz.de> reports that changing the configure
22 generated link order from:
23 -lresolv -lkrb -lz -lnsl -lutil -lkafs -lkrb -ldes -lcrypto
24 to:
25 -lresolv -lkrb -lz -lnsl -lutil -lcrypto -lkafs -lkrb -ldes
26 fixing the problem.
Damien Miller883631b2001-03-21 11:12:55 +110027
Damien Millerb8b8ecf2001-02-08 10:47:43 +110028- Write a test program that calls stat() to search for EGD/PRNGd socket
Damien Millera8e06ce2003-11-21 23:48:55 +110029 rather than use the (non-portable) "test -S".
Damien Millerb8b8ecf2001-02-08 10:47:43 +110030
Damien Millera8ed44b2003-01-10 09:53:12 +110031- More platforms for for setproctitle() emulation (testing needed)
Damien Miller356a0b01999-11-08 15:30:59 +110032
Damien Millerc7b38ce1999-11-09 10:28:04 +110033- Improve PAM support (a pam_lastlog module will cause sshd to exit)
Damien Miller53998382002-09-05 16:32:02 +100034 and maybe support alternate forms of authentications like OPIE via
Ben Lindstromc72745a2000-12-02 19:03:54 +000035 pam?
Damien Miller356a0b01999-11-08 15:30:59 +110036
Damien Miller0b8e9002003-05-18 21:44:07 +100037- Improve PAM ChallengeResponseAuthentication
38 - Informational messages
39 - chauthtok
Damien Millerdd97de72001-03-05 23:33:24 +110040 - Use different PAM service name for kbdint vs regular auth (suggest from
41 Solar Designer)
42 - Ability to select which ChallengeResponseAuthentications may be used
43 and order to try them in e.g. "ChallengeResponseAuthentication skey, pam"
44
Damien Millerad833b32000-08-23 10:46:23 +100045- Complete Tru64 SIA support
Damien Millerfdbcb5d2001-09-25 13:01:49 +100046 - It looks like we could merge it into the password auth code to cut down
47 on diff size. Maybe PAM password auth too?
Ben Lindstrom4a1d9162000-11-21 10:45:31 +000048
49- Finish integrating kernel-level auditing code for IRIX and SOLARIS

Kevin Steves55fb9a92001-03-19 14:58:47 +000052- 64-bit builds on HP-UX 11.X (stevesk@pobox.com):
53 - utmp/wtmp get corrupted (something in loginrec?)
Kevin Steves55fb9a92001-03-19 14:58:47 +000054 - can't build with PAM (no 64-bit libpam yet)
55
Ben Lindstrom4a1d9162000-11-21 10:45:31 +000056Clean up configure/makefiles:
Tim Riceb89e6942001-10-29 18:50:39 -080057- Clean up configure.ac - There are a few double #defined variables
Damien Millerdd97de72001-03-05 23:33:24 +110058 left to do. HAVE_LOGIN is one of them. Consider NOT looking for
59 information in wtmpx or utmpx or any of that stuff if it's not detected
60 from the start

Damien Miller0b8e9002003-05-18 21:44:07 +100062- Fails to compile when cross compile. (vinschen@redhat.com)
Ben Lindstrom4a1d9162000-11-21 10:45:31 +000063
64- Replace the whole u_intXX_t evilness in acconfig.h with something better???
Damien Miller47907722003-01-13 10:00:34 +110065 - Do it in configure.ac
Ben Lindstrom4a1d9162000-11-21 10:45:31 +000066
Ben Lindstrom28bfc0d2000-12-18 19:58:57 +000067- Consider splitting the u_intXX_t test for sys/bitype.h into seperate test
68 to allow people to (right/wrongfully) link against Bind directly.
69
Damien Millerc68d4332002-01-22 22:26:20 +110070- Consider splitting configure.ac into seperate files which do logically
Damien Millera8e06ce2003-11-21 23:48:55 +110071 similar tests. E.g move all the type detection stuff into one file,
Damien Millerc68d4332002-01-22 22:26:20 +110072 entropy related stuff into another.
73
Ben Lindstrom4a1d9162000-11-21 10:45:31 +000074Packaging:
75- Solaris: Update packaging scripts and build new sysv startup scripts
Damien Millerdd97de72001-03-05 23:33:24 +110076 Ideally the package metadata should be generated by autoconf.

Ben Lindstromaa83b982002-06-25 02:28:22 +000082PrivSep Issues:
83- mmap() issues.
Ben Lindstromacfef052002-06-25 14:14:30 +000084 + /dev/zero solution (Solaris)
85 + No/broken MAP_ANON (Irix)
86 + broken /dev/zero parse (Linux)
Damien Millera8e06ce2003-11-21 23:48:55 +110087- PAM
Ben Lindstromaa83b982002-06-25 02:28:22 +000088 + See above PAM notes
89- AIX
Darren Tuckerbc976f92003-06-11 23:56:41 +100090 + usrinfo() does not set TTY, but only required for legacy systems. Works
Ben Lindstromb129be62002-06-25 17:12:26 +000091 with PrivSep.
Ben Lindstromaa83b982002-06-25 02:28:22 +000092- OSF
93 + SIA is broken
Ben Lindstrom2f0de482002-06-25 14:01:55 +000094- Cygwin
95 + Privsep for Pre-auth only (no fd passing)
