Changes:
COPSSH - A yet another SSH Server & Client for Windows
Version 1.4.0 - October 2006
CHANGES FROM VERSION 1.3.10
 1. UPDATED - OpenSSH 4.4p1
 
    See http://www.openssh.org/txt/release-4.4 for more information.
	Some security vulnerabilities are fixed. Upgrade is highly
recommended.
	
 2. UPDATED - OpenSSL 0.9.8d
 
    See http://www.openssl.org/news/ for more information.
	Some security vulnerabilities are fixed. Upgrade is highly
recommended.
	
 3. NEW - copSSH administration tool version 1.0
 
    Copsshadm is a new tool for automation of copssh tasks.
    This initial version supports various setup operations
	and following user operations:
	
	- Batch mode user activation and deactivation
    - Reset permissions of the installation directory
	
 4. NEW - use NONTSEC in CYGWIN environment
	Earlier versions of copSSH used *NTSEC* for the Cygwin environment.
	*NTSEC* instructs Cygwin to manipulate windows ownerships & ACLs 
	according to corresponding Unix permissions. This behaviour 
	is not necessarily preferable if keeping security information intact
	is a issue. As of this version, copSSH uses *NONTSEC*, assuring that
	no security information will be manipulated beyond users' knowledge.
 5. NEW - GUI Wizards for user activation and deactivation
 
    User Activation Wizard gives you a list of deactivated local users
	for selection. You can also select:
	
	- a shell: /bin/bash, /bin/sftponly, /bin/false or specify your own
	- if an existing copssh home directory will be removed
	- if keys for public key authentication will be created
	- if a link to user's windows home directory will be created
	
	It is also possible to enter user name directly.
	
	User Deactivation Wizard gives you a list of activated users
	for selection.
	
	All those functionality is also available in batch mode via
copsshadm.
 
 6. UPDATED - Improved support for localized windows versions
 
 7. UPDATED - Improved support for setup roll-back
 
 8. UPDATED - Cygwin 1.5.21-2
 9. UPDATED - OpenSSL 0.9.8b-1
10. UPDATED - Improved WinSCP support
 
    copSSH contains all tools required for a full proper operation of
WinSCP.
11. UPDATED - Improved SFTP support
 
    You can activate sftp users with /bin/sftponly shell, limiting their
	access.	NB! sftponly is a simple shell script and can be vulnerable.
    Coming Openssh version 4.4 will have functionality dealing with limiting
    shells. 	
	
	By using NTSEC, no security information is manipulated beyond users'
	knowledge.
12. UPDATED - Improved support for Domain Users
13. UPDATED - GNU Tools
