SSH Claims Draw Open Source Ire

JDStone writes to tell us eWeek is reporting that claims of OpenSSH not being an 'enterprise-class product' by SSH Communications, the creators of SSH, is being met with a great deal of resistance. Theo de Raadt, of OpenBSD fame and a member of the OpenSSH development team was quoted saying "OpenSSH is built into all Unix and Linux vendor operating systems, and is also built into almost all larger managed network switches, from Cisco through Foundry. It comes on Linksys and D-Link wireless and security routers too."

OpenSSH's developers refuse shitty patches until they are sent in a manner that conform to the code standards and goal's of the project, if the people sending patches are too stupid to read and code properly before hand, why should the developers then hold hands and recode every shittily cobbled patch for them?

K&R wrote the fucking language, I think they knew how to write code properly.

If the patch fixes a bug or adds a needed feature, the developers should accept or rewrite it. The code works, if you've got your head too far up your ass to accept it then rewrite it.
