Disabling compression in sshd causes problems

[Bruce Guenter]

Greetings.

If compression is disabled in the sshd config file, and a client
attempts to connect with compression enabled, the session fails with the
following error message:
	no matching comp found: client zlib server none
This error message is produced on line 285 of kex.c (version 3.4p1).

This happens with either UsePrivilegeSeperation on or off, so I do not
believe it is a PrivSep issue.

Am I mistaken in thinking that disabling compression on the server would
simply silently disable compression for all connections to that server?
