Hi All, I've been working on a diff to get SSHFP support for ed25519 in OpenSSH. SM has been working through the IETF process to obtain the SSHFP RR Type number. Despite getting "rough consensus", we still haven't heard anything from the IETF Security Directors for the draft. SM sent a mail asking why it is taking so long, and it appears that his mail was ignored. Please see: http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ietf/current/msg87189.html This situation is rather unusual, and that makes me wonder what's exactly going on there, as I believe that we've done our homework correctly. Maybe the OpenSSH community needs to get involved, so that we can get work done :-) ?

The IETF is notorious for its incredible delays. The situation is typical IMHO. Nobody in IETF is accountable for anything, so you rely on people's good intentions. You need to poke the right people, and poke them again, and poke someone who will know how to poke them, etc. etc. etc.> Maybe the OpenSSH community needs to get involved, so that we can > get work done :-) ?If by "get involved" you mean swamping the IETF powers that be with email, that would the wrong way to do it. SM knows how to navigate the IETF waters. Let him do his job. Simon
