mdadm
The mdadm program controls Linux md devices (software RAID arrays). It can create, assemble, report on, and monitor arrays and can also move spares between raid arrays when needed.
Most important changes are:
- Stopping a container is not permitted when members are still active
- Add 'homehost' to the valid words for the "AUTO" config file line. When followed by "-all", this causes mdadm to auto-assemble any array belonging to this host, but not auto-assemble anything else.
- If mdadm.conf lists arrays which have inter-dependencies, the previously had to be listed in the "right" order. Now any order should work.
- --force assembly of v1.x arrays which are in the process of recovering
- Various command-line-option parsing improvements
Refer to http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/raid/mdadm/ANNOUNCE for additional details.
openssh-server
An open source SSH server daemon
Most important changes:
- SSH protocol 1 disabled by default.
- Removed the libsectok/OpenSC-based smartcard code and added support for PKCS#11 tokens
- Added support for certificate authentication of users and hosts using a new, minimal OpenSSH certificate format (not X.509).
- Added a 'netcat mode' to ssh that connects stdio on the client to a single port forward on the server.
- Added the ability to revoke keys in sshd(8) and ssh(1)
- Many improvements to the sftp(1) client
