An update that has four recommended fixes can now be installed.
Description:
This update for openssh provides the following fixes:
- Enable specific ioctl calls for ICA crypto card on the zSeries platform.
Without this patch, users using the IBMCA engine are not able to perform
ssh login as the filter blocks the communication with the crypto card.

- Enable case-insensitive hostname matching. (bsc#1017099)
- Add a new switch for printing diagnostic messages in sftp client's batch
mode. (bsc#1023275)
