While this won't be a problem for a long time, I note that OpenSSH's own
compat.c has:
{ "OpenSSH_2*,"
"OpenSSH_3*,"
"OpenSSH_4*", SSH_BUG_SIGTYPE },
{ "OpenSSH_5*", SSH_NEW_OPENSSH|SSH_BUG_DYNAMIC_RPORT|
SSH_BUG_SIGTYPE},
Should these be changed to 2.* etc. to avoid future problems?
(Incidentally, unless I've misunderstood OpenSSH's historical versioning
arrangements, I don't think that either the "OpenSSH_2*" or "OpenSSH_3*"
patterns there can ever legitimately match, because there are previous
"OpenSSH_2.*" and "OpenSSH_3.*" patterns that will always match first.)
