Now, instead of each seat's prompt-handling function doing the control-char sanitisation of prompt text, the SSH code does it. This means we can do it differently depending on the prompt. In particular, prompts _we_ generate (e.g. a genuine request for your private key's passphrase) are not sanitised; but prompts coming from the server (in keyboard-interactive mode, or its more restricted SSH-1 analogues, TIS and CryptoCard) are not only sanitised but also line-length limited and surrounded by uncounterfeitable headers, like I've just done to the authentication banners. This should mean that if a malicious server tries to fake the local passphrase prompt (perhaps because it's somehow already got a copy of your _encrypted_ private key), you can tell the difference. |

PuTTY README
============
This is the README file for the PuTTY installer distribution. If
you're reading this, you've probably just run our installer and
installed PuTTY on your system.
What should I do next?
----------------------
If you want to use PuTTY to connect to other computers, or use PSFTP
to transfer files, you should just be able to run them from the
Start menu.
If you want to use the command-line-only file transfer utility PSCP,
you will probably want to put the PuTTY installation directory on
your PATH. On Windows 7 and similar versions, you can do this at
Control Panel > System and Security > System > Advanced system
settings > Environment Variables.
Some versions of Windows will refuse to run HTML Help files (.CHM)
if they are installed on a network drive. If you have installed
PuTTY on a network drive, you might want to check that the help file
works properly. If not, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896054
for information on how to solve this problem.
What do I do if it doesn't work?
--------------------------------
The PuTTY home web site is
https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
Here you will find our list of known bugs and pending feature
requests. If your problem is not listed in there, or in the FAQ, or
in the manuals, read the Feedback page to find out how to report
bugs to us. PLEASE read the Feedback page carefully: it is there to
save you time as well as us. Do not send us one-line bug reports
telling us `it doesn't work'.
