         - NETCU utility (NETCU.EXE)
         - TCPware command definitions (TCPWARE_COMMANDS.COM and
           TCPware.CLD)

         This patch is applicable to TCPware SSH on V 5.8 and V5.7-2
         on all supported versions of OpenVMS VAX, OpenVMS Alpha and 
         OpenVMS I64.

         A system reboot is requred after installing this ECO, to load 
         the new software features.

         NOTE: The TCPware ECO DRIVERS_V572P100 or later is required 
               on TCPWARE V5.7-2 systems and must be installed in order 
               to run SSH after installing the SSH_V582P010 ECO. 

         This kit has an ECO ranking of 2.

         This kit includes the following corrections:

         o When executing SSH in a command procedure or batch job, and 
           SSH executes a remote command on some UNIX systems where output
           is done to STDERR on the UNIX system, the SSH client on the
           VMS side may hang.  This has been corrected such that now the
           message "input device is not a terminal" may be seen, and at
           the end of some sessions, the fatal error "Assertion failed:
           iorec != ((void *) 0)" may be seen.  This error occurs after
           all remote processing has been completed, and can be safely
           ignored.  Process Software will work to remove this error in
           a future ECO or release.  [DE 10716]
     
         o Problems which caused SFTP>LS directory_specification to list
           the directory file instead of the contents of the directory on Alpha
           processors have been corrected.  [DE 10717]
     
         o Improvements in SFTP access controls (directory and operation
           restrictions).  [DE 10701]
     
         o Improvements in handling SFTP realpath operations. [DE 10700, 10656]
     
         o Corrected an ACCVIO when public key authentication fails in batch 
           mode.  [DE 10675]
     
         o Corrected errors in processing when attempting to disable SRI
           encoding on ODS2 disks by defining the logical:
     
                   MULTINET_SFTP_ODS2_SRI_ENCODING 
     
           to FALSE.  [DE 10671]
     
         o Carats (^) are now added where necessary in ODS5 file specifications.
           [DE 10654]
     
         o Problems with SCP-SERVER1 on Alpha have been corrected.  [DE 10651]
     
         o Removed code that attempts to resolve the proper setting of the 
           "execute" bit on files as this has a very different meaning on VMS
           than it does on Unix.  [DE 10622]
     
         o Changed "Unexpected error" message when there are no files in a
           directory to "No matching files".  [DE 10727]
     
         o Corrected problems with large file transfers and directory of files
           larger than 4GB.  [DE 10735]
  
                   *** Notes for Kerberos 5 Support ***

         Support for Kerberos 5 is based on HP Kerberos V5 for OpenVMS.

         SSH may be configured and used at any time, either with or
         without Kerberos; however, Kerberos is required to perform Kerberos 
         authentication in the SSH server.  If Kerberos is installed at some 
         later time after SSH is started, restarting SSH will allow it to 
         use Kerberos.


         Some chapters of the TCPware documentation having to do with SSH
         have been updated.  New PDF files of these are supplied in this
         ECO, and are copied to the TCPWARE_COMMON:[TCPWARE] directory.  
         These are:

             TW_MANAGEMENT_SSH1_SERVER_CH25.PDF
             TW_MANAGEMENT_SSH2_SERVER_CH26.PDF
             TW_USER_GUIDE_SSH_CLIENT_CH16.PDF
             TW_USER_GUIDE_FILE_XFER_CH17.PDF

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                        Post Installation Notes

    You must execute CNFNET to reconfigure SSH, which will cause some
    new SSH parameters to be written out the the TCPware configuration
    file.  This must be done prior to rebooting the system after 
    installing this ECO.   To reconfigure SSH, execute:

                $ @TCPWARE:CNFNET SSH

    Defaults may be taken for all questions if you do not wish to
    reconfigure SSH.

    If you have NOT previously installed a TCPware 5.7 SSH patch kit, or
    are not sure if one was previously installed, you must perform the
    following procedure:

    - Save your old SSH2_DIR:SSHD2_CONFIG. file and create a new one from
      the new TCPWARE:SSHD2_CONFIG.TEMPLATE file:

        $ COPY SSH2_DIR:SSHD2_CONFIG. SSH2_DIR:SSHD2_CONFIG.OLD
        $ COPY TCPWARE:SSHD2_CONFIG.TEMPLATE SSH2_DIR:SSHD2_CONFIG.

    - If you previously customized your SSH2_DIR:SSHD2_CONFIG file (now
      renamed to ".OLD"), you must edit the new SSH2_DIR:SSHD2_CONFIG
      file and add your customizations to it.  You MUST use the new 
      file created from the new TCPWARE:SSHD2_CONFIG.TEMPLATE file for
      this.

    - Note that if you are in a clustered environment with a shared
      system disk, you must copy the TCPWARE:SSHD2_CONFIG.TEMPLATE from
      the node where the ECO was initially installed to the SSH2_DIR:
      directory on each of the other nodes in the cluster before making 
      the new SSHD2_CONFIG file and making any changes as noted above.

    The old version of the replaced SSH components will be renamed to

             TCPWARE_COMMON:[TCPWARE]SSH2.EXE_OLD
             TCPWARE_COMMON:[TCPWARE]SSHD.EXE_OLD
             TCPWARE_COMMON:[TCPWARE]SSHD2.EXE_OLD
             TCPWARE_COMMON:[TCPWARE]SSHD_MASTER.EXE_OLD
             TCPWARE_COMMON:[TCPWARE]SSH-ADD2.EXE_OLD
             TCPWARE_COMMON:[TCPWARE]SSH-AGENT2.EXE_OLD
             TCPWARE_COMMON:[TCPWARE]SCP2.EXE_OLD
             TCPWARE_COMMON:[TCPWARE]SSH-KEYGEN.EXE_OLD
             TCPWARE_COMMON:[TCPWARE]SSH-KEYGEN2.EXE_OLD
             TCPWARE_COMMON:[TCPWARE]SSH-SIGNER2.EXE_OLD
             TCPWARE_COMMON:[TCPWARE]SSH-CERTVIEW.EXE_OLD
             TCPWARE_COMMON:[TCPWARE]SSH-CERTENROLL2.EXE_OLD
             TCPWARE_COMMON:[TCPWARE]SCP-SERVER1.EXE_OLD
             TCPWARE_COMMON:[TCPWARE]SFTP-SERVER2.EXE_OLD
             TCPWARE_COMMON:[TCPWARE]SSHD2_CONFIG.TEMPLATE_OLD
             TCPWARE_COMMON:[TCPWARE]SSHLEI.EXE_OLD
             TCPWARE_COMMON:[TCPWARE]LOAD_SSHLEI.EXE_OLD
             TCPWARE_COMMON:[TCPWARE]UNLOAD_SSHLEI.EXE_OLD
             TCPWARE_COMMON:[TCPWARE]SSH_FSCLM.EXE_OLD
             TCPWARE_COMMON:[TCPWARE]SSH_ZLIB.EXE_OLD
             TCPWARE_COMMON:[TCPWARE]NETCU.EXE_OLD
             TCPWARE_COMMON:[TCPWARE]SSH_CONTROL.COM_OLD
             TCPWARE_COMMON:[TCPWARE]TCPWARE_COMMANDS.COM_OLD

    Once installed, you may undo this patch by renaming the files
    back to their original names, and restarting the SSH component.

    NOTE: You must reboot your system after installing this ECO,
          to load the new software features.
