If >you really can't get them to accept the patches, then let me know.. I would also like to plead that we try and keep openssh on freebsd as close to the "official" one as possible. Here at RPI, I ssh between systems running freebsd, openbsd, MacOS 10pb, AIX, Solaris, IRIX, and even a nextstation or two. Adding features that only appear on one platform is pretty useless to me. Adding them to the "official portable openssh" is much more useful. Note that the "portable openssh" is different than the openssh which openbsd comes with, so we aren't trying to keep in sync with openbsd per se. --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or drosih@rpi.edu Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
