Users complain that "SSH doesn't work anymore!!!", and don't RTFM and get things wrong. Rather, that is the strawman used, and I haven't seen a user not understand that protocol 2 works differently than protocol 1. I'd rather give users more credit and let people realize they should be using protocol 2, not 1 anymore. But convince everyone else of that. -- Brian Fundakowski Feldman \ FreeBSD: The Power to Serve! / green@FreeBSD.org `------------------------------' To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
