What version were you running? I see that mononoke.mhost.com is
running OpenSSH 2.3.0 and I run 3.x and I've never had any
problems connecting to a server that recent. In fact I've not
had any problems connecting to servers as old as 1.2.3.

No commit access does not translate to no progress. There are
many things that can be worked on while CVS repository issues are
sorted out. Oh, and I have read every message on this thread.

I'm not advocating "patch releases." I am not even sure what you
mean by this. All I am suggesting is working on patches and
sending them to the list while CVS repository issues are being
sorted out. Then when the repository issues are resolved the
patches can be commited assuming they are properly done.

Does anyone have a full archive of nmh-workers and nmh-bugs going
back to at least March 17, 2001 (the last commit)? I would like
to be able to go through the list archives to look for forgotten
patches and any issues that may have been raised. I have tried
to get SmartList to give me the archives, but that feature does
not seem to be working.

If everyone really feels this way, fine. I just wanted to see a
bit more patience. If we are really going to move the CVS
repository this should be helpful:
<URL:http://hackers.progeny.com/~dsp/nmh-cvs.tar.gz>
I found that on ftp.mhost.com today when I went poking around.
