I don't mean to disappoint, but I don't think it will be possible to fall back without creating modifications on both sides (both renogotiation of connection on the server side and client side, because the protocols are inherently different). For what it's worth, I tend to simply set "Protocol 1,2" in my .ssh/config and for the default case, it works fine (just like it used to). I don't want to make that policy decision, though, because we will be better off when everyone moves to the protocol version 2, so it's reasonable for the default to make things "difficult" to encourage the switch. I support the OpenSSH developers' plan here. -- Brian Fundakowski Feldman \ FreeBSD: The Power to Serve! / green@FreeBSD.org `------------------------------' To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
