RHEL 6 / CentOS 6 / Scientific Linux 6 Neither RHEL, CentOS nor Scientific Linux (RHEL/CentOS/SL 6) does not ship with a version of OpenSSH that is compatible with Moonshot (they ship with a non- Moonshot-enabled v5.3 of OpenSSH). To get Moonshot support for it, you must install a specific Moonshot-enabled version (v5.9). We have a precompiled version available in our repositories.

, so add the Moonshot RedHat OpenSSH repository to your system by creating a new file at 

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

This repository needs to be manually enabled, by editing the /etc/yum.repos.d/moonshot

-ssh.repo with the following content:true

Check that the yum-priorities plugin is enabled in your yum configuration:

    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 the relevant line in /etc/sysconfig/network to make it so.

    Installation Instructions

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

      bashtrue


    2. If you have already installed the latest version of OpenSSH from the CentOS updates repository and its version is either the same or is newer than the version in our repository, you must use the yum downgrade command to downgrade switch the packages to our version:

      bashtrue


    Configuration Instructions

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

    Configure the OpenSSH server to use Moonshot by editing /etc/ssh/sshd_config. Check the following lines are present and uncommented:

    true
