Mozilla Foundation Donates $10K to OpenSSH

eklitzke writes to tell us the OpenBSD journal is reporting that the Mozilla Foundation is donating $10,000 USD to the OpenSSH project. This comes as good news after the recent reported financial troubles from the OpenBSD and by extension the OpenSSH team. It seems that quite a few people have answered the call for aid made by OpenBSD's de Raadt.

After being fed up with something in Thunderbird (It just started crashing because of a Self Signed Certificate problem) I upgrade to the Latest CVS of 3.0 Alpha 1 and boy howdy it is an upgrade. Even as alpha software I have had less issues with it than I did with 1.5 and most of the annoyances are either made less annoying or don't exsist.

Just an FYI.

Now if you guys can just make Thunderbird stop sucking, I'd be much happier.

Agreed. I can't compose messages in plain text? I can't have signature lines automatically removed when replying and quoting? I can't change the name of my outgoing account when composing? Crazy. Gimme kmail on Win32 and I'll be much happier.

Eh? How can you say what I soleley want?

Connection throttling to prevent DoS attacks or overload situations is something different than throttling or blocking of attacks. I want a support for the latter and have said that the former is not sufficient as replacement. You may have a different opinion, that it is sufficient for you, but don't tell me what I want. For my case, the throttling values are completely different for both scenarios, and the rules when an IP address is allowed again are different, too.
