Dag-Erling Smørgrav 4f52dfbb8d Upgrade to OpenSSH 7.6p1. This will be followed shortly by 7.7p1.
This completely removes client-side support for the SSH 1 protocol,
which was already disabled in 12 but is still enabled in 11.  For that
reason, we will not be able to merge 7.6p1 or newer back to 11.

FreeBSD maintainer's guide to OpenSSH-portable
==============================================
00) Make sure your mail spool has plenty of free space. It'll fill up
pretty fast once you're done with this checklist.
01) Download the latest OpenSSH-portable tarball and signature from
OpenBSD (ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/OpenSSH/portable/).
02) Verify the signature:
$ gpg --verify openssh-X.YpZ.tar.gz.asc
03) Unpack the tarball in a suitable directory:
$ tar xf openssh-X.YpZ.tar.gz
04) Copy to the vendor directory:
$ svn co svn+ssh://repo.freebsd.org/base/vendor-crypto/openssh/dist
$ rsync --archive --delete openssh-X.YpZ/ dist/
05) Take care of added / deleted files:
$ svn rm $(svn stat dist | awk '$1 == "!" { print $2 }')
$ svn add --no-auto-props $(svn stat dist | awk '$1 == "?" { print $2 }')
06) Commit:
$ svn commit -m "Vendor import of OpenSSH X.YpZ." dist
07) Tag:
$ svn copy -m "Tag OpenSSH X.YpZ." \
svn+ssh://repo.freebsd.org/base/vendor-crypto/openssh/dist \
svn+ssh://repo.freebsd.org/base/vendor-crypto/openssh/X.YpZ
08) Check out head and run the pre-merge script, which strips our RCS
tags from files that have them:
$ svn co svn+ssh://repo.freebsd.org/base/head
$ cd head/crypto/openssh
$ sh freebsd-pre-merge.sh
09) Merge from the vendor branch:
$ svn merge -cNNNNNN \^/vendor-crypto/openssh/dist .
0A) Resolve conflicts. Remember to bump the version addendum in
version.h, and update the default value in ssh{,d}_config and
ssh{,d}_config.5.
0B) Diff against the vendor branch:
$ svn diff --no-diff-deleted --no-diff-added \
--ignore-properties \^/vendor-crypto/openssh/X.YpZ .
Files that have modifications relative to the vendor code, and
only those files, must have the svn:keywords property set to
FreeBSD=%H and be listed in the 'keywords' file created by the
pre-merge script.
0C) Run the post-merge script, which re-adds RCS tags to files that
need them:
$ sh freebsd-post-merge.sh
0D) Run the configure script:
$ sh freebsd-configure.sh
0E) Review changes to config.h very carefully.
0F) If source files have been added or removed, update the appropriate
makefiles to reflect changes in the vendor's Makefile.in.
10) Update ssh_namespace.h:
$ sh freebsd-namespace.sh
11) Build and install world, reboot, test. Pay particular attention
to pam_ssh(8), which gropes inside libssh and will break if
something significant changes or if ssh_namespace.h is out of
whack.
12) Commit, and hunker down for the inevitable storm of complaints.
An overview of FreeBSD changes to OpenSSH-portable
==================================================
0) VersionAddendum
The SSH protocol allows for a human-readable version string of up
to 40 characters to be appended to the protocol version string.
FreeBSD takes advantage of this to include a date indicating the
"patch level", so people can easily determine whether their system
is vulnerable when an OpenSSH advisory goes out. Some people,
however, dislike advertising their patch level in the protocol
handshake, so we've added a VersionAddendum configuration variable
to allow them to change or disable it. Upstream added support for
VersionAddendum on the server side, but we also support it on the
client side.
1) Modified server-side defaults
We've modified some configuration defaults in sshd:
- UsePAM defaults to "yes".
- PermitRootLogin defaults to "no".
- X11Forwarding defaults to "yes".
- PasswordAuthentication defaults to "no".
- VersionAddendum defaults to "FreeBSD-YYYYMMDD".
- PrivilegeSeparation defaults to "sandbox".
- UseDNS defaults to "yes".
2) Modified client-side defaults
We've modified some configuration defaults in ssh:
- CheckHostIP defaults to "no".
- VerifyHostKeyDNS defaults to "yes" if built with LDNS.
- VersionAddendum defaults to "FreeBSD-YYYYMMDD".
3) Canonic host names
We've added code to ssh.c to canonicize the target host name after
reading options but before trying to connect. This eliminates the
usual problem with duplicate known_hosts entries.
4) setusercontext() environment
Our setusercontext(3) can set environment variables, which we must
take care to transfer to the child's environment.
5) TCP wrappers
Support for TCP wrappers was removed in upstream 6.7p1. We've
added it back by porting the 6.6p1 code forward.
6) Agent client reference counting
We've added code to ssh-agent.c to implement client reference
counting; the agent will automatically exit when the last client
disconnects.
7) Class-based login restrictions
We've added code to auth2.c to enforce the host.allow, host.deny,
times.allow and times.deny login class capabilities.
8) HPN
We no longer have the HPN patches (adaptive buffer size for
increased throughput on high-BxD links), but we recognize and
ignore HPN-related configuration options to avoid breaking existing
configurations.
9) AES-CBC
The AES-CBC ciphers were removed from the server-side proposal list
in 6.7p1 due to theoretical weaknesses and the availability of
superior ciphers (including AES-CTR and AES-GCM). We have re-added
them for compatibility with third-party clients.
This port was brought to you by (in no particular order) DARPA, NAI
Labs, ThinkSec, Nescafé, the Aberlour Glenlivet Distillery Co.,
Suzanne Vega, and a Sanford's #69 Deluxe Marker.
