regarding rekey when compression is on

[jimmy <jimmyb%huawei.com@localhost>]

Hi,

In SSH2 during re-keying with compression on, how is the exchange hash 
calculated? The rfc (4253) mentions in section 8 that I_C and I_S as the 
*payload* of the SSH_MSG_KEXINIT.

Now, is this the compressed or the uncompressed contents of those messages?

I understand from section 6 (binary packet protocol) that payload refers 
to the compressed contents. But i can also see that openssh uses the 
uncompressed contents.

Can someone clarify?


Thanks,
jimmy
