Once again, you're wrong. "The particular exploit path that was desscribed" does _not_ require that someone can control the sshd to which you're speaking -- it only requires that someone can control your TCP/IP traffic. There's a very big difference there. Obviously, the security of your TCP/IP traffic is solved with host key verification and cryptography. But this bug in SecureCRT happens way, way before any of that takes place. -jim
