I don't follow NetBSD, so I don't know what their replacement is or why they did it. My gut reaction is that I'd rather see freebsd stick with openssh.com's implementation, just because that is what I'll be using on many other unix platforms here at RPI. If NetBSD has a different implementation, and if that includes some "neat feature" that we would like, I would still prefer to see us work on getting THAT FEATURE into openssh.com's implementation, if possible. I would hope that whatever they have, it should be already be "compatible" with both openssh and the original ssh implementations, except for new features that they have added. Since I have no idea what this openssh-replacement is, or what benefits it might offer, there isn't much more I can say about it. --- 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
