What part of "actively supporting honeypots is a bad idea" is unclear to you, sir? This kind of built-in feature can, and will, be used by malicious people to activate passphrase theft. By activating it directly in the source code, it also makes it that much more difficult to detect when someone can and has enabled such harvesting. _______________________________________________ openssh-unix-dev mailing list openssh-unix-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mindrot.org/mailman/listinfo/openssh-unix-dev
