--- Comment #2 from suryalegend89 <suryalegen...@gmail.com> ---
Hi Damien Miller ,
Thank you for your response.
I am seeking clarification on how OpenSSH reports its software version.
As per the RFC Protocol Version Exchange, the identification string
format is:
SSH-protoversion-softwareversion SP comments CR LF
However, VersionAddendum appends the minor version in the comments
rather than including it in the software version itself. For example:
SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_9.9 p2 <CR><LF>
This suggests that the minor version (p2) is not part of the software
version but is instead added as a comment.
For cross-verification, I tested on Ubuntu, and it includes the minor
version in the software version string:
SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_8.9p1 Ubuntu-3ubuntu0.11
Is there a specific reason why OpenSSH omits the minor version from the
software version field?
Any insights would be greatly appreciated!
