As you may know an ietf-draft will be standard only if there are two
independent and interoperable software. So there should be another sshv2
implementation.
And indeed there is one under heavy development with GNU GPL
license. This is called lsh, but it's name may change in the near future.
As I've already mentioned this is under heavy development, and newer
snapshots get out in every 4th or 5th day. The current snapshots lack
capabilities (eg. PTY support, logging) which are needed for daily use,
but this changes from snapshot to snapshot.
For more info check:
http://www.net.lut.ac.uk/psst/ -from this page you can get to the
archive of the mailinglist (psst) where we discuss lsh.
ftp://ftp.lysator.liu.se/pub/security/lsh/ -from here you can download
the snapshots.
http://www.lysator.liu.se/~nisse/lsh/ -here you can find the current
development tree.
The lsh is maintained by Niels Möller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Unfortunately lsh and ssh2 is not interoperable yet. (There is some wierd
"too big packet" problem.)
