Re: OpenSSH bug in decoding EXT_INFO extension values

Aye – I thought there’s nothing simpler than:

  string extension-name
  string extension-value <= can contain any value!

But... there we go. :)

It’s fascinating how much non-simplicity one discovers in things that seem simple. *sigh* You know what the most common misunderstanding of our users is?

They don’t know what’s a “client” and what’s a “server”.

Just try to make simpler protocol extensions, so I can keep seeing sloppy
