OpenSSH 2.3

[Michael Mai]

First of all my congratulations for the successful development of OpenSSH 3.0 .

I am still working with OpenSSH 2.3.0p1which we ported to an IBM OS/390 mainframe system.
I recompiled and reinstalled OpenSSL but to no avail.

Now I activated DEBUG_DSS and saw, that pub, P, Q look equal on ASCII systems and our EBCDIC system, but g looks different on our OS/390 system.

Am I right to assume that g is part of the counterpart's sent public key, and if it does not match the remainder of the public key,
the message "signature incorrect" may appear ??

Thank you in advance.

Gruss/ regards
