No, I did not say that.  Such conversion should not be done
in jsch internal.  That should be done in the user's code.
By the way, the motivation for using password in byte[](not in String) is
from the security concerns, but how can we believe that
'sun.io.CharToByteConverter' will not copy the password into
its internal buffer in String or clear the buffer after the conversion 
process?

It is AM 3:45 here and I must go to bed now,
because I'll be on the skiing ground today.
# I hope there will be tons of powder snow as yesterday!
I'll be back at next monday night.

Thanks,
