Question on Architecture

[dubu0874 at uidaho.edu]

I have recently been trying to recipher the data being sent by openssh and have a few questions ment to smooth the road some.

I am able to send and recieve data up till the password is sent. Once the password is entered the client gets the oh so loved:

"Disconnecting: Bad packet length ########."

I have added my recipher scheme to work on the streams at packet_read_seqnr and packet_write_poll.  Is there a section in the code specifically made to handle the sending of the password that I am not accounting for?  Can anyone think of another area data is send or recieved that I will need to had my cipher scheme to?

Thanks to all help in advance.
