Crumbling FAR2L interface in FreeBSD terminal

[alexax66]

FreeBSD terminal has the same bug as linux #925

I builded FAR2L after exceptions #ifdef __linux__ .... #endif (leaving only support_esc_b = false; // #925) in commit 6df46a6#diff-bc6399fcd63a16b361767c29da77df028799bd78c06c08c3732e5d89d20d8febR226-R231 and this bug disappeared.

Check now plz

Made new build after commit 6fef7c4
Unsuccessfully, the same issue
If run FAR2L from under the tmux, it works flawlessly

Nice, BSD terminal tells in $TERM that its xterm while doesn't even able to behave as xterm...

Those spaces compression... aren't compression already done by ssh?

[elfmz]

By default - no.
Even if enable it by running ssh with -C arg - still that sequences reduces multiple Ctrl+O traffic by 1.5..2 times by comparing to sending plain spaces. I measured that by running SSH via socat with enabled traffic loggin.

Got it, thanks!
btw, is there any way to enable ssh compression in NetRocks?

[elfmz]

nope, but will be

Doesn't it follow "Compression yes" from /etc/ssh/ssh_config?

[elfmz]

Looks like libssh is able to parse that file - there is function ssh_options_parse_config. But it doesnt do that by default.
Anyway, IMHO such an option better to be controlled on per-connection settings. For servers inside LAN compression may only make things slower.

And what about other options from that file, like Ciphers? No way to disable compromised cipher without rebuilding?

[elfmz]

Best is the enemy of good. When it will be really needed - it will be too late will implement. Problem is that ciphers list must be obtained dynamically from libssh, and its not very aligns with current arch where protocol implementation completely detached from NetBox plugin SO.

Ok, added an option to use OpenSSH configs. So such problems can be resolved by checking checkbox and writing bad ciphers in config.

Cool, this is exactly the option I wanted! And what if I enable Compression in NetRocks, but disable in OpenSSH config used? Or vice versa. Such behavior should be documented, I guess, not to confuse users.
