the check_by_ssh code to allow for another argument:<BR><BR>-c
<cipher-name><BR><BR>that you can use to change what type of encryption
to use. I did this because we planned on trying to use "-c none" to see
if it reduced some of the ssh-induced load. We haven't actually tested
its effects yet (we need to rebuild ssh to allow "-c none" first). Does
anyone know if this would make a big difference in ssh's scalability? If
so, should I contribute this back?<BR><BR>Russell Scibetti<BR><BR>Carroll, Jim
