Bug ID: 3590
Summary: Why is the service name in the USERAUTH REQUEST
message "ssh-connect" instead of "ssh-userauth"?
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: -current
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: trivial
Priority: P5
Component: ssh
Assignee: unassigned-bugs@mindrot.org
Reporter: rmsh1216@163.com

As mentioned in Section 4.7 of RFC2450, the'service name' is used to
describe a protocol layer. as we all know, the USERAUTH REQUEST
messages belong to the authentication protocol layer.
According to my understanding, the service name in the message should
be "ssh-userauth" instead of "ssh-connection". I looked up the code of
openssh and other SSH software. The service names in the USERAUTH
REQUEST messages are all "ssh-connection". I think I misunderstood the
meaning of service name. Can you tell me the reason?
