Silly question on DH key exch in ssh

[Manik Surtani]

Hey all.

Apologies if this is the wrong place to post this question.

I'm developing an open source Java SSH (v2) client API, and need a bit 
of help.

1) After receiving the KEXDH_RESPONSE packet, reading SSH Transport 
Layer Protocol (March 2002), Section 5.2, Output from Key Exchange:  do 
I assume that, in HASH (K || H || "A" || session_id), H is a mpint?  The 
spec states that K is a mpint but doesnt specify for H.

2) Also, how do I communicate my public key to the server?  From the 
spec, I gather that the next packet to send is a SSH_MSG_NEWKEYS with no 
data following ... am I wrong?

Help is very much appreciated...
