Ubuntu 12.04 ships with OpenSSH-5.9p1.

We would like to have the LDAP Public Keys patch incorporated, as well as the SFTP File Control patch

To do this:

 

  • cd /usr/src
  • apt-get source openssh && cd openssh-5.9p1
  • patch < ~/sftp.patch
  • dpkg-source --commit
  • patch < ~/lpk.patch
  • dpkg-source --commit
  • dpkg-buildpackage
The LPK patch is derived from Gentoo. The SFTP file control patch is the one for 5.4p1.
Both had to be slightly changed so they could be applied (order: sftp,lpk).

 

After successful compilation I have added them to our new Ubuntu repository at http://ubuntu.terena.net (smile)

      which patch are you trying to apply?

      the two patches can be applied without modification, but to add them both you'll have to edit them

          Ah, some little details, you have to patch debian/rules as well. see attached patch.

          Once that is done, you also have to install libldap2-dev of course.
