Paramiko doesn't work with my Cisco, Windows or other non-Unix system!

In an ideal world, the developers would love to support every possible target
system. Unfortunately, volunteer development time and access to non-mainstream
platforms are limited, meaning that we can only fully support standard OpenSSH
implementations such as those found on the average Linux distribution (as well
as on Mac OS X and \*BSD.)

Because of this, **we typically close bug reports for nonstandard SSH
implementations**.

However, **closed does not imply locked** - affected users can still post
comments on such tickets - and **we will always consider actual patch
submissions for these issues**, provided they can get +1s from similarly
affected users and are proven to not break existing functionality.
