[...to fork or not to fork...] My apologies if this has been sorted out someplace else, but I'm sort of wondering what the point is of trying to fix the SSH protocol. A lot of very smart people worked long and hard on IPSEC. It's an open, interoperable standard. It's simple to implement and understand. It is (I've been led to understand) well-analyzed and theoretically robust. It works. And, significantly, FreeBSD still doesn't have a documented, user-friendly, fully-featured implementation. What is the compelling attraction of yet another potentially shortlived variation on a proprietary protocol? -Michael Robinson To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
