This is currently the most comprehensive list of SSH implementations I’m
familiar with:
It’s done by Max Horn, who participated on this list as recently as in
September, so he might be reading.
Come to think of it – Max’s SSH comparison might be an excellent way to
figure out how many servers will reject text from the client before the SSH
version string. I understand that this might be quite a bit of work. However,
Bitvise would be willing to sponsor such an effort.
Max? Are you there? :-)

We can't solve every possible problem with incompatibilities, but we can at least get good coverage of a lot of them. I think there are quite a few oddball SSH implementations whose developers have never been on this list and who we can't get to, but it can at least help those on the list. Just thinking about this a bit more, we'd maybe need two things, a means of discussing quirks of other implementations, and an (informal) registry of SSH ID strings and who to contact if you find a problem with that ID, because that's been another problem, "I've found a bug with X, who do I report it to?". Going through standard tech-support channels often doesn't work because you're not a customer and there's no obvious way to get past the front-end people to talk to a developer. Peter. |
