[platform-vcm-dev] [Patch] Allow sshd to return SSH_MSG_DEBUG

[Tom Palmer <tomp@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

  Attached should be a patch for the org.eclipse.vcm.core.cvs.ssh plugin
that allows the sshd server to return an SSH_MSG_DEBUG during the course of
normal operations. This fixes the issues I have had when trying to work with
an F-Secure ssh daemon - I would get the following message:

  unexpected packet type: 36

  This was caused because the server would return a debug message of 'Server
does not permit empty password login.'
  
  The patch checks for the presence of an SSH_MSG_DEBUG packet within the
stream from the server and skips past it until it sees a packet that isn't
SSH_MSG_DEBUG. I guess the debug messages could be logged but I haven't
implemented this (I wasn't quite sure about how to obtain an instance of
ILog).

  The patch has been tested against both F-Secure 2.1.0 daemon and OpenSSH
3.0.2p1.

  Regards,

  Tom
