net/mosh: confusing MESSAGE?
When installing net/mosh, the following message appears:
===========================================================================
$NetBSD: MESSAGE,v 1.1.1.1 2012/07/20 03:15:29 agc Exp $
===========================================================================
To invoke the server, you need to use a UTF-8 character set, and
a hard-coded string of "new" (to make mosh-server use getopt). e.g.
% env LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" mosh-server new -i 192.168.98.130
MOSH CONNECT 60001 2zDOoujUVJ1AW4YFYw36sg
%
and to connect to that server, the invocation is
% env LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" MOSH_KEY=2zDOoujUVJ1AW4YFYw36sg \
mosh-client 192.168.98.130 60001
Please note that this package uses UDP, and so packets may be filtered
in certain environments.
===========================================================================
I feel like this message is more confusing than anything else. AIUI, the intended use of mosh is as a drop-in replacement of ssh, i.e. you run „mosh hostname“. This logs in via ssh and sets up the server connection.
How about just removing the message?
