From ebcece7f317f6d4e4d580c1f5629f4f46defe272 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hans Nilsson Date: Wed, 9 May 2018 11:42:49 +0200 Subject: ssh: Add infinity as values to rekey_limit Zero is removed from the Minutes in the new tuple value to remove a loop possibility. The zero is kept for bytes since that is not dangerous and a removal would be an unnecssary incompatibility. --- lib/ssh/doc/src/ssh.xml | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+) (limited to 'lib/ssh/doc/src') diff --git a/lib/ssh/doc/src/ssh.xml b/lib/ssh/doc/src/ssh.xml index 6aed525e8b..407956cc6f 100644 --- a/lib/ssh/doc/src/ssh.xml +++ b/lib/ssh/doc/src/ssh.xml @@ -762,6 +762,8 @@ + +

When a rekeying is done, both the timer and the byte counter are restarted. Defaults to one hour and one GByte.
