query about draft-ietf-secsh-connect-19.txt

[Anil Madhavapeddy <anil%recoil.org@localhost>]

In draft-ietf-secsh-connect-19.txt, Section 7.1, there is a reference
to:

byte     SSH_MSG_GLOBAL_REQUEST_SUCCESS
uint32   port that was bound on the server

which should probably be "SSH_MSG_REQUEST_SUCCESS"

The other odd thing about this packet is that it's the only one which 
doesn't encode the request type in which it's in response to.

This form would appear to make more sense:

byte    SSH_MSG_REQUEST_SUCCESS
string  "tcpip-forward"
uint32  port that was bound on the server

As this is the only packet for which the contents of the packet can
vary without a "constant field" on which to make the decision of which
further packets to inspect.  In other cases, e.g. SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_REQUEST,
the decision to decode further fields can be taken by lookinng at the
first string argument.
