it really annoys me they don't let you shoot yourself if you want to... i 
mean even with this patch you have to explicitly enable the None cipher in 
sshd_config... (which means that if your host can get non-LAN connections 
you really should consider running a none-capable sshd on a different, ip 
addr access controlled, port.)

definitely helps on gig-e.
