Neither Debian 8 does not nor Ubuntu ship with a version of OpenSSH that is compatible with Moonshot. To get Moonshot support for it, you must install a specific Moonshot-enabled version. We have a precompiled version available in our repositories.

System Preparation

Add the Moonshot libraries.

If you have not already done so, you first need to follow the instructions on how to .

We've moved the

The OpenSSH packages

from the main Moonshot repository into

have their own

, so add the Moonshot Debian OpenSSH repository to your system. To do this, run the following command (as root, or using sudo):bash

Configure APT

Debian 8 currently ships with OpenSSH 6.7p1, which matches our version. So that you can install our OpenSSH, and not have it reverted back to the non-Moonshot-enabled system-provided OpenSSH next time you do an apt-get upgrade, we must tell apt that the Moonshot repository has precedence over the official Debian repositories.

Create a file called

dedicated repository, to avoid replacing system's one when not strictly required.

This repository needs to be manually enabled, by editing the /etc/apt/

preferences

sources.list.d/moonshot

, with the following content:

.list file and uncommenting the following line, where $OS is the code name of your Debian-based distribution (you do not need to provide, it will be there).

bashtrue

Ensure that your hostname is correct

The channel bindings check requires that the hostname of your SSH server match the hostname people are SSHing to. That is, the output of the "hostname" and " and hostname -f" commands  commands should match the FQDN of the server. If it doesn't, change /etc/hostname to make it so. 

Installation Instructions

  1. Install the Moonshot-enabled pre-compiled OpenSSH packages using apt. This will replace the system provided OpenSSH.

Configuration Instructions

Once installed, the Moonshot-enabled OpenSSH server will still need a few quick tweaks in order to turn on the Moonshot support.

Follow the configuration instructions on the page to configure the server.
