Hi,

Is anyone looking at this? I would rather not leave this open with no
information beyond a vague "it failed last time I tried"; we have enough
bugs to deal with as it is.

The ssh package currently in the archive for hurd-i386 should be quite
adequate for somebody to install this and at least try it out.

Thanks,
