Using the names hmac-sha2-256-96 and hmac-sha2-512-96 is a violation of the spec since that namespace is managed by IANA. They could be implemented as vendor extensions (hmac-sha2-256...@openssh.com and hmac-sha2-512...@openssh.com). -- Darren Tucker (dtucker at zip.com.au) GPG key 8FF4FA69 / D9A3 86E9 7EEE AF4B B2D4 37C9 C982 80C7 8FF4 FA69 Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience usually comes from bad judgement.
