[j-nsp] ssh (cli?) differences in 6.4R2.

[Paul Goyette]

Kisito is correct - the original change was undone and the "other
functionality" has been provided in a different manner.  This was
done in just the past week or so, and the change back had escaped
my notice.

The ability to pass arbitrary commands on the ssh command line is
still unsupported.  There are apparently a lot of customers who
use this abaility anyway, and we've put things back to reduce the
pain.

So why does your collegue say:

<c>
This defect has been fixed recently under PR/32583 ( committed in JUNOS
6.4R3  7.0R2 and higher ).
</c>

So obviously it _is_ seen as unwanted behaviour and a workaround was
found to still enable your direct sh access for whatever feature. :-)


Best regards,
