Re: Comment on the ssh2 protocol: signal numbers

[Tom Proett]

The POSIX standard defines signals by name.  How about letting the local
machine map each signal name to the locally correct number and sending the
name over the wire?  They all start with SIG so names like ABRT, KILL
and PIPE would do it.  Some names are longer than 4 chars following the
SIG (like SIGWINCH) so a fixed size might not do.
