None at all. At > least, none that I'm aware of. It supports PKI, which SSH doesn't, at least not without patches. This means that you can sign your host and user keys with a CA, and then you only need the CA certificate (plus revocation lists) to determine which host and user keys to trust. In SSH, you need to have the public key of every host and user you want to trust. The SSH way of managing keys is also specific to SSH, while PKI is used in all SSL applications (for example). /Pelle
