Clarifications to RFC 4255 ?

[Simon Vallet <svallet%genoscope.cns.fr@localhost>]

Hi,

looking at the current implementation in OpenSSH, I noticed the
compatibility layer (compat/getrrsetbyname.c) makes use of SIG (RRTYPE
24) records, which is the type specified in RFC 4255, §2.4.

However, it seems that SIG RRs are obsoleted in RFC 4034, §7 (from RFC
3755, §3) in favour of RRSIG RRs (RRTYPE 46).

I was a bit confused by the fact that RFC 4255 both references SIG
records and RFC 4034. Shouldn't the RFC be clarified on this topic ?

Best regards,
Simon
