Tom: 3.7.p1 is 3.7, portable -- it is NOT 3.7.1."The portable OpenSSH follows development of the official version, but releases are not synchronized. Portable releases are marked with a 'p' (e.g. 3.7.1p1). The official OpenBSD source will never use the 'p' suffix, but will instead increment the version number when they hit 'stable spots' in their development."

why does the tarball for openssh-3.7p1.tar.gz have channels.c as: RCSID("$OpenBSD: channels.c,v 1.194 2003/08/29 10:04:36 markus Exp $"); when the advisory http://www.openssh.com/txt/buffer.adv shows --- channels.c 29 Aug 2003 10:04:36 -0000 1.194 +++ channels.c 16 Sep 2003 21:02:40 -0000 1.195 same problem with buffer.c: RCSID("$OpenBSD: buffer.c,v 1.17 2003/09/16 03:03:47 deraadt Exp $"); vs --- buffer.c 16 Sep 2003 03:03:47 -0000 1.17 +++ buffer.c 16 Sep 2003 21:02:39 -0000 1.18 it's like 3.7.1 doesn't have all the changes in it?! If I'm right, and others have missed this, there may be a lot of folks with a false sense of security. -Tom
