message: The History section mentions the 4.5 release which was since replace by 4.6. Shouldn't the 4.6 release then be mentioned instead? -- Ernstdehaan 08:25, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: 4.6 release not in History

message: "After several meetings, Ylonen's request for a renaming of the protocol was denied, citing concerns that it would set a bad precedent for other trademark claims against the IETF. "
When was that meeting?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.114.83.92 (talk • contribs) 2006-10-11T05:50:30.
: The meeting was held on March 19th, 2001 in Minneapolis.  The Meeting Notes contain a pretty basic overview of what happened in the working group meeting. niels 00:19, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

message: The text confuses general port forwarding and X11 forwarding, which are done slightly differently (X11 forwarding is somewhat intelligent). Also /etc/initd is somewhat os and even distribution specific? Some ssh defaults have changed over time to make it more secure, so a bit of review of this article might be in order.

I'll get around to using that information in a while.  Janizary 19:01, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Usage 

message: Well, since I cannot start a page without registering, I won't be doing a peer review.  But I had been planning to until I found out about that.  65.95.124.5 22:37, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

message: I disagree, the misconception stems from OpenSSH's prevalence in the Unix world and it's dependence on OpenSSL and should thus be mentioned in both articles, thus helping to ensure and random reader looses said misconception.  74.13.31.42 22:52, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Prevalence is irrevelent. This is an article about OpenSSH, not a place to provide information about OpenSSL. It belongs in OpenSSL. People have lots of stupid ideas, it doesn't mean they should be mentioned anywhere they can be squeezed in on the faintest pretext. If you can provide a specific example of where the OpenSSH/OpenSSL mix-up happened and affected OpenSSH, then it is relevent... do lots of people post bug reports or queries on OpenSSL to the OpenSSH lists? has an OpenSSH developer commented on it, negatively or humourously or whatever? NicM 08:12, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: In fact, I'd say it shouldn't even appear in OpenSSL, unless its had some effect on it too. NicM 08:18, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

text: On second thoughts, let's have it, but in a different place. NicM 09:32, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  http://bsd.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=180878&threshold=1&commentsort=0&mode=thread&cid=14966670 shows one of the many random shmucks that think OpenBSD's OpenSSH develops OpenSSL.  74.13.31.42 14:30, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: So? People believe lots of things, that doesn't mean it has any effect on the projects or that it is encylopedic. NicM 14:58, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  But it is good to clear these kinds of problems up where possible, listing said information helps stem the problem.  74.13.31.42 02:03, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Misconceptions 

message: It's very cute but I can't find any non-Wikipedia mention of it - it's listed here as if it's a slogan. Is it an official slogan at all or did it just get put on Wikipedia. If so I don't think it's really encyclopedic content. —EatMyShortz 13:57, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
