I e-mailed HPN upstream on 04/09 to ask if they ever submitted the HPN patch |
| 25 |
to OpenSSH's bug. Never heard back. Nothing turns up when searching for |
| 26 |
HPN there, either. Can someone else try to poke them into submitting the |
| 27 |
HPN patch? At least then, we can track its upstream status. |
