    Aha. I used "ssh -1 <remote_host>" once, and then subsequent attempts I'm
logging in w/o password thanks to ssh-agent. Seems that the latest ssh version
defaults to protocol 2 and not 1. I need 1 to talk to my Potato box.

    Apparently putting this in my $HOME/.ssh/config gets around the problem of
having to type -1 every time.

Host <remotehost>

Protocol 1
