MeetBSD California 2010 in ONE WEEK!

Come discuss all the BSD flavors with your peers next week at MeetBSD
California! It's on Friday and Saturday, November 5th & 6th at
Hacker Dojo, in Mountain View, California, USA.

We have an interactive Unconference on the first day. This means that
the attendees will get to decide the topics in real time.
For the second day, a more traditional format of speakers and
works-in-progress will be followed. It's highly hackable, informative,
and fun.

Of course, a legendary BSD-party featuring special guests, activities,
and entertainment will occur Saturday evening at the Dojo ;)

Thanks to our generous sponsors, the cost is only $25 USD which includes
snacks, lunches, and admission to the after-party.

If you are planning on attending, please reserve your space now:

See you there!

Changes since OpenSSH 5.3
=========================

   SSH protocol 1 by default. Clients and servers that need to use the
   legacy protocol must explicitly enable it in ssh_config / sshd_config
   or on the command-line.

 * Remove the libsectok/OpenSC-based smartcard code and add support for
   PKCS#11 tokens. This support is automatically enabled on all
   platforms that support dlopen(3) and was inspired by patches written
   by Alon Bar-Lev. Details in the ssh(1) and ssh-add(1) manpages.
