Hello Michael,
Hello,
did you notice that this file is excluded from being updated on existing installations?
no - but I should have thought about that. :-\
How do we handle any custom changes from users here?
The only possibility of keeping the user's settings is to move existing SSH client configurations to a new location, replace /etc/ssh/ssh_config with this one and include the version before.
However, I strongly advise against this. (For example, some settings in the original config might revert hardening options, causing no security benefit after all.)
Since it is "just" the client configuration, I consider overwriting it the best procedure. Of course, there has to be a yellow warning box in the release notes, but it is better than no hardening at all.
I merged this for new installations already.
Great. SSH server configuration will follow.
Best regards, Peter Müller
