# Override package: openssh

## EL9

- Version `8.7p1-34.3.el9_3.security.0.3`
- Based on `8.7p1-34.el9_3.3`

### Changes summary

- Instead of linking against `libsystemd`, load it dynamically in a temporary child process to avoid polluting actual `sshd`'s address space with that library and its many dependencies (shortens `ldd sshd` output from 28 to 20 lines)
- Build without Kerberos support (further shortens `ldd sshd` from 20 to 13 lines)

### Change log

```

- Comment out GSSAPI* lines in /etc/ssh/ssh*_config.d/50-redhat.conf and patch
  the code to silently ignore GSSAPIKexAlgorithms when unsupported (like it is
  in our new without-Kerberos build)
