openssh unix dev - Jul 2001 - Defaults for protocol and ssh-keygen (and an introduction)

Hi,

	I have recently taken over as Debian maintainer for ssh. This
means you're going to be getting lots of mail from me in the near
future :-) I'm aiming to be a little more active than the last
maintainer, but the Debian packages were really out of date, so I've
quite a lot of work (and probably some old bugs) to deal with.

Anyhow, onto the first question. ssh these days uses protocol version
2 by default, but ssh-keygen stil generates old-style keys by
default. Is this apparant contradiction intentional?

Cheers,

Matthew

no, this is a default that should not be changed now.

this will break to many things, i think. perhaps later.
