I trimmed them because they add no information to the fingerprint - they are always present in the plain b64 encoding given the mismatch between SHA256's output size and base64's "block" size but they don't represent any bits of the hash. Also they're ugly :) -d _______________________________________________ openssh-unix-dev mailing list openssh-unix-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mindrot.org/mailman/listinfo/openssh-unix-dev
