Announce: X.509 certificates support v7.0 for OpenSSH version 5.9p1

[Erwin Himawan]

Hi Roumen,

Does Ver 7.0 support X509 with ECC key (prime256v1)?

Supposing, that ver 7.0 supports ECC key, is the procedure for configuring
x509-based openssh with ECC key is similar when configuring it wirh RSA
keypair?
Should I use openssl ver 1.0.0.d to build the openssh?

Thanks in advanced.

Regards,
Erwin
