Comments on the SSH drafts
I have some comments on the ssh drafts, although I don't think
that these warrant a DISCUSS:
I have been reading these drafts for the past several weeks
attempting to figure out how another protocol (netconf) could
run over ssh. As a newcomer to these specifications, it was
difficult for me to figure out how the different ssh
protocols and services relate to each other. In particular,
how the ssh-userauth and ssh-connection services are related.
Although the architecture document discusses the fact that
ssh-connection runs "over" ssh-userauth, it isn't entire clear
to me what that means. If I understand correctly, it means
that the ssh-userauth service needs to be invoked and result
in a successful authentication before the ssh-connection
service can be invoked?
If so, I think it would be helpful for the ssh-connect
document to explicitly say that.
