I would say that the larger factor is that Theo & the developer community stated publically that they were dying on the vine.

Oops: As some of you have heard before, Sun has said no because they consider OpenSSH to be a competitor to SunSSH (which is based on older OpenSSH code, but with pre-auth privsep disabled, meaning perhaps 30,000 lines of code run as root, at connection time). > > Some people have been helping me talk to quite a few vendors, and > > while a few things are moving ahead some of the results are > > quite disgusting. > > Sounds depressing.

IMHO, the PR alone--and related patronization from open source savvy consumers that believe in supporting open source friendly companies--would make the 10 grand a bargain and provide for an ROI most businesses only dream of.

A few things with a few vendors and larger company-users are moving ahead. All the Linux companies have said no. As some of you have heard before, Sun has said no because they consider OpenSSH to be a competitor to OpenSSH. Just can't make some of this stuff up Some people have been helping me talk to quite a few vendors, and while a few things are moving ahead some of the results are quite disgusting.
