Description David Leonard 2007-10-03 15:23:10 AEST 
A couple of man pages make reference to a manual page, moduli(5) that seems to be missing.

There's actually a moduli(5) man page in OpenBSD (http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=moduli) however its license is a 4-term BSD.  Nothing else in OpenSSH has an advertising clause abd we'd like to keep it that way.

I emailed the page's author a while back asking if he would be willing to rescind the advertising clause  but unfortunately did not get a response.

We should include the moduli.5 manpage in the portable OpenSSH distribution.
Comment 3 Damien Miller 2008-06-26 16:00:20 AEST 
I have rewritten the moduli(5) manpage and it will be included in the portable OpenSSH 5.1 release.

Thanks!
