A grab bag of thoughts on the OpenSSH chapter of the RHEL 6.5 Deployment Guide. Ignore as you wish. * Intro: In addition to telnet and rsh, I might mention rlogin as something ssh can replace -- lots of people will be familiar with rlogin. * Intro: Claims that openSSH requires openSSL. Really? I don't see that dependency if I run "rpm -q --whatrequires openssl". Are you sure about this? * Is there any point mentioning "slogin", which is simply a symlink to ssh? * Section 13.2.2: "chkconfig sshd on This will enable the service for all runlevels." I'm sure you know that's not true. :-) Levels 2,3,4,5. Not 1. * Section 13.3, "To connect to an OpenSSH server from a client machine, you must have the openssh-clients and openssh packages installed." Since openssh is a package dependency of openssh-clients, it seems unnecessary to tell the reader to install it. * Section 13.4.1, X11 Forwarding, doesn't distinguish between trusted and untrusted forwarding, which might confuse some readers. I think that's all.
Thank you very much for taking the time to write this report, Robert.
