I think he was suggesting removing it from the sshd server, not the client. You can always specify the protocol on the command line with the client even if it didn't fall back... and again he's suggesting it for the default configuration, you can always change the configuration. I'm not necessarily for this change I just want to be sure what change is being suggested :) -Steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
