WG Chair nits for draft-ietf-secsh-break-00.txt
So, I'd like to do a last-call on this but there are the following
nits which will require a re-spin to resolve:
1) security considerations section is missing.
s-c fodder:
Because "break" is typically used to enter low-level administrative
or debugging functions, implementors of this extension SHOULD provide
a mechanism to control whether this extension is accepted, and
administrators should use care when deciding whether to enable this
feature.
2) typos:
> This operation SHOULD be support by most general purpose SSH clients.
"supported"?
> The telnet protocolprovides a means to send a "BREAK" signal, which
missing space --------^
3) no mention of what to do when the thing on the other end isn't
(directly) connected to a traditional serial line. I'm in favor of
saying "MAY implement functionally similar implementation-defined
behavior".
examples:
- a ssh-to-telnet gateway could convert into the equivalent
telnet option.
- a service processor providing remote console access may use some
other out-of-band signal to the system it manages rather than
the traditional BREAK..
4) usual normative/informative reference section gorp: these all look
normative, so just "s/References/Normative References/"
