Re: security issues

[Sandeep Adwankar <sandeep.adwankar@motorola.com>]

Is it possible to document reasons behind mandating ssh in the NetConf
draft. Particularly, I will like to understand reasons behind mandating
ssh
over TLS. TLS has wide support and can provide ubiquitous substrate
on most platforms. For example, it's trivial to build management
application that uses TLS with support of Java APIs but there are no
Java API's for SSH. There are no published RFC's on SSH, so
it's relatively early to expect support on all platforms.

Thanks
