/*
 * See the KSshProcess header for examples on use.
 *
 * This class uses a hacked version of the PTYProcess
 * class.  This was needed because the kdelibs PTYProcess does not provide 
 * access to the pty file descriptor which we need, because ssh prints the
 * password prompt to the pty and reads the password from the pty.  I don't
 * feel I know enough about ptys to confidently modify the orignial
 * PTYProcess class.
 *
 * To start ssh we take the arguments the user gave us
 * in the SshOptList and build the ssh command arguments based on the version
 * of ssh we are using.  This command and its arguments are  passed to
 * PTYProcess for execution.  Once ssh is started we scan each line of input
 * from stdin, stderr, and the pty for recognizable strings.  The recognizable
 * strings are taken from several string tables.  Each table contains a string
 * for each specific version of ssh we support and a string for a generic
 * version of OpenSSH and commercial SSH incase we don't recognized the 
 * specific ssh version strings (as when a new SSH version is released after
 * a release of KSshProcess).  There are tables for ssh version strings,
 * password prompts, new host key errors, different host key errors,
 * messages than indicate a successful connect, authentication errors, etc.
 * If we find user interaction is necessary, for instance to provide a 
 * password or passphrase, we return a err code to the user who can send
 * a message to KSshProcess, using one of several methods, to correct
 * the error.
 *
 * Determining when the ssh connection has successfully authenticationed has
 * proved to be the most difficult challenge.  OpenSSH does not print a message
 * on successful authentication, thus the only way to know is to send data
 * and wait for a return.  The problem here is sometimes it can take a bit
 * to establish the connection (for example, do to DNS lookups).  This means
 * the user may be sitting there waiting for a connection that failed.
 * Instead, ssh is always started with the verbose flag.  Then we look for
 * a message that indicates auth succeeded.  This is hazardous because
 * debug messages are more likely to change between OpenSSH releases.
 * Thus, we could become incompatible with new OpenSSH releases.
