openssh bugs - Jul 2003 - [Bug 612] moduli.5 documentation doesn't match ssh code (off by 1)

http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=612

           Summary: moduli.5 documentation doesn't match ssh code (off by 1)
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: -current
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: trivial
          Priority: P2
         Component: sshd
        AssignedTo: openssh-bugs at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: wsimpson at greendragon.com


Just discovered that ssh/dh.c interprets the /etc/moduli file in a 
slightly different way from the documentation, due to an historic 
accident (an off by 1 error) by the OpenSSH coder.  Easier to change 
the documention than the installed base ;-)

[I'm the original author, as /etc/moduli was originally used in Photuris.]
