In https://gitlab.com/libssh/libssh-mirror/-/merge_requests/145#note_463232084 behavior in libssh was identified where it diverges from how for example OpenSSH behaves. In OpenSSH if a request success of failure message is received, apart from it being treated as a keepalive message, it is ignored otherwise. Libssh does handle the unexpected message and triggers an error condition internally. This means that with the Dropbear behavior where it replies to a hostkeys-00@openssh.com message even with a want_reply = 0 (arguably a bug), libssh enters an error state. This change makes the libssh behavior match OpenSSH to ignore these messages. The spec is a bit unclear on whether Dropbear is buggy here or not, but let's be liberal with the input accepted here in libssh.

The SSH library
Why?
Why not ? :) I've began to work on my own implementation of the ssh protocol because i didn't like the currently public ones. Not any allowed you to import and use the functions as a powerful library, and so i worked on a library-based SSH implementation which was non-existing in the free and open source software world.
How/Who?
If you downloaded this file, you must know what it is : a library for accessing ssh client services through C libraries calls in a simple manner. Everybody can use this software under the terms of the LGPL - see the COPYING file
If you ask yourself how to compile libssh, please read INSTALL before anything.
