Hi, I'm maintaining a version of openssh with "-c none" available. As proposed earlier in #52671, this must be enabled explicitly with "-c none" in the client and "Ciphers ...,none" in the server. This is a good compromise (no pun intended! ;-)), IMO. In /etc/apt/sources.list, add: deb http://people.debian.org/~stigge/packages / deb-src http://people.debian.org/~stigge/packages / bye, Roland
