Secure Shell: WG Meeting Summary

[Bill Sommerfeld <sommerfeld%east.sun.com@localhost>]

Summary of IETF57 Secure Shell WG meeting.

The actual meeting was short, mostly largely of document status
updates.  Attendance was very light.  There was brief discussion of
open issues with several of the documents.  One document is now in the
IESG's hands: draft-ietf-secsh-dns-04.txt (SSH key fingerprints in
DNS).  The core draft update to resolve IESG issues missed publication
deadline for this meeting, but editing is now done and the documents
should reappear shortly.  This will hopefully break the logjam and get
the rest of the documents moving.

There are few open issues at present -- mostly editorial nits.

Starting with this IETF, the AD has requested that I list the actions
expected before the next IETF meeting (November 9-14, 2003, in
Minneapolis).
