New OpenSSH 7.1p1 does not work in PowerShell

[thomaskonrad]

Hi,

I just upgraded OpenSSH because of the latest vulnerability. On my machine, SSH now does not work any more in PowerShell. When I try to open a connection, it just quits without any output:

~ $ ssh myserver.local
~ $

However, SSH works in the old cmd.exe command shell. Does anybody experience the same thing? I'm using Windows 10.

Thanks
Thomas

I've moved openssh back to the old 5.4p1-1 version for now. You'll need to run scoop uninstall openssh; scoop update; scoop install openssh to go back because scoop update openssh won't work for an older version than the one you have installed.

I would love to use ssh with ed25519 rather than rsa for better security and faster generation speed, but ssh begins to support this type of key since v6.4.
I tried scoop uninstall openssh; scoop update; scoop install openssh as suggested, but I still got old 5.4p1-1.
Any other suggestion?

[lukesampson]

You might want to try scoop install git-with-openssh. I'm not sure about ed25519 support, but it's a much newer version of OpenSSH.

$ ssh -V
OpenSSH_7.3p1, OpenSSL 1.0.2h  3 May 2016

Thanks. I have ssh with version number 7.3p1 and ed25519 key working.
But there is no ssh-add, and other friends for me.

Is there any other information I need to provide?

[lukesampson]

That missing slogin.exe was causing ssh-add etc not to be linked in correctly. I've fixed that now.

You need to run scoop update;scoop uninstall git-with-openssh;scoop install git-with-openssh to get the fix.

Still failed.
How can I make sure I have got the latest scoop bucket file?

If you've updated, the manifest should be at ~/appdata/local/scoop/apps/scoop/current/bucket/git-with-openssh.json, and it shouldn't mention slogin.exe.

[perplexedfingers]

Works now.
Thanks for the lightening-fast response.
