  Subj: Broken SSH implementation  
  Hi, all.  I'm running Mystic 1.12a48 on Linux64 and did some comprehensive  
  testing on cryptlib. So far, cryptlib 3.4.5 is the only version that will  
  create a ssl.cert file in the data directory. So, using that file, I  
  tested every version of cryptlib from 3.4.5 to 3.4.9-1, compiled both in  
  gcc-9, and gcc-13, then copied the built library into /mystic/libs/libcl.  
  so. In all cases but 3.4.5, the ssh connection is closd immediately after  
  it opens.  
    
  cryptlib 3.4.5 works, but only if you downgrade your ssh client to use  
  aes256-cec as the cypher specification. Because that spec was replaced in  
  later versions of cryptlib, it appears that Mystic is unable to properly  
  initialize the ssh session.  
    
  Has anyone encountered this, and if not, how can we get the author to at  
  very lease provide a patched MysticBBS so that users on modern ssh clients  
  can connect to modern BBS's?  
    
  Thanks for your help!
