Followup on Inquiry about regreSSHion postmortem

[hvjunk]

In that case I do have to apologize to Rene for posting that link as, well, I wasn’t aware of that, and only now that I’ve checked this from another site got the 301…

The link to start from then for Rene’s sake: https://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/usr.bin/ssh/log.c?r1=1.53 and click on the 1.52 for the diff were the sigdie/logdie changes happened!

Now I have to get hold of the website admin to check how this works to stop AI bots I need to fight elsehwere :D
