Explain the use of SSH fpr visualization using random art, and cite the
original scientific paper inspiring that technique.
Much help with English and nroff by jmc@, thanks.
[monitor.c]
Clear key options in the monitor on failed authentication, prevents
applying additional restrictions to non-pubkey authentications in
the case where pubkey fails but another method subsequently succeeds.

The multiplexing escape char handler commit last night introduced a
small memory leak per session; plug it.
[key.c]
supply the key type (rsa1, rsa, dsa) as a caption in the frame of the
random art. while there, stress the fact that the field base should at
least be 8 characters for the pictures to make sense.

[clientloop.h ssh.c clientloop.c]
maintain an ordered queue of outstanding global requests that we
expect replies to, similar to the per-channel confirmation queue.
Use this queue to verify success or failure for remote forward
establishment in a race free way.
ok dtucker@
[clientloop.h mux.c channels.c clientloop.c channels.h]
Enable ~ escapes for multiplex slave sessions; give each channel
its own escape state and hook the escape filters up to muxed
channels. bz #1331
Mux slaves do not currently support the ~^Z and ~& escapes.
NB. this change cranks the mux protocol version, so a new ssh
mux client will not be able to connect to a running old ssh
mux master.

[dns.c canohost.c sshconnect.c]
Do not pass "0" strings as ports to getaddrinfo because the lookups
can slow things down and we never use the service info anyway. bz
#859, patch from YOSHIFUJI Hideaki and John Devitofranceschi. ok
deraadt@ djm@
djm belives that the reason for the "0" strings is to ensure that
it's not possible to call getaddrinfo with both host and port being
NULL. In the case of canohost.c host is a local array. In the
case of sshconnect.c, it's checked for null immediately before use.
In dns.c it ultimately comes from ssh.c:main() and is guaranteed to
be non-null but it's not obvious, so I added a warning message in
case it is ever passed a null.
[key.c]
#define statements that are not atoms need braces around them, else they
will cause trouble in some cases.
Also do a computation of -1 once, and not in a loop several times.

[ssh-keygen.c ssh-keygen.1]
ssh-keygen would write fingerprints to STDOUT, and random art to STDERR,
that is not how it was envisioned.
Also correct manpage saying that -v is needed along with -l for it to work.

Introduce SSH Fingerprint ASCII Visualization, a technique inspired by the
graphical hash visualization schemes known as "random art", and by
Dan Kaminsky's musings on the subject during a BlackOp talk at the
23C3 in Berlin.

"Hash Visualization: a New Technique to improve Real-World Security",

Techniques and E-Commerce (CrypTEC '99)

The algorithm used here is a worm crawling over a discrete plane,
leaving a trace (augmenting the field) everywhere it goes.
Movement is taken from dgst_raw 2bit-wise. Bumping into walls
makes the respective movement vector be ignored for this turn,
thus switching to the other color of the chessboard.
Graphs are not unambiguous for now, because circles in graphs can be
walked in either direction.
