<TITLE>RE: [PATCH] Add scp -1 and -2 options to OpenSSH-3.0.2p1</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Personally, I wish it was in the current release as it'd greatly aid our migration efforts (from a poorly done 2.5.1 implementation) and is a lot easier to communigate to clueless users.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>We've finally managed to piggyback a real ssh deployment onto a high profile project, and some of the user education is really sucking.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Thanks,</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>#1 - OpenSSH/OpenBSD is not Debian. What you do to the source is your </FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>#2 - In TWO years of helping people with ssh compiling, configuring, and</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>using. I've seen SIX people (80% of them are on this list!) whine about</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>lack of -1/-2. The others where happy to use -oProtocol=[12] to do their</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>job.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>NOW please.. tell me.. *WHERE* are these MASSES of people crying out for</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>the -1/-2 option for scp? SIX people out of almost a thousand plus</FONT>
