Summary: moduli.5 documentation doesn't match ssh code (off by 1)
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: -current
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: trivial
Priority: P2
Component: sshd
AssignedTo: openssh-bugs@mindrot.org
ReportedBy: wsimpson@greendragon.com

Just discovered that ssh/dh.c interprets the /etc/moduli file in a
slightly different way from the documentation, due to an historic
accident (an off by 1 error) by the OpenSSH coder. Easier to change
the documention than the installed base ;-)

[.I'm the original author, as /etc/moduli was originally used in Photuris.]
