code in packet.c does not concern itself with packet types or their
execution; it contains code to build packets, to receive them and
extract data from them, and the code to compress and/or encrypt
- packets. CRC code comes from crc32.c.
+ packets.
- The code in packet.c calls the buffer manipulation routines
(buffer.c, bufaux.c), compression routines (zlib), and the
calls client_loop in clientloop.c. This does the real work for
the session.
- - The client is suid root. It tries to temporarily give up this
- rights while reading the configuration data. The root
- privileges are only used to make the connection (from a
- privileged socket). Any extra privileges are dropped before
- calling ssh_login.

Pseudo-tty manipulation and tty modes
- Code to allocate and use a pseudo tty is in pty.c. Code to
