Because the vanilla ssh is not free software, and it also uses the RSA algorithm which is patented in the US. However, version 2 of the SSH protocol doesn't use RSA, and there is at least one free implementation, namely LSH. Moreover, one month ago I installed lsh-0.9.4 on bos1.gnu.org. To login, you have to get either SSH Inc's ssh2 or LSH. lshd is not currently running on any GNU machine but bos1. You can get lsh at ftp.lysator.liu.se/pub/security/lsh, or http://www.lysator.liu.se/~nisse/archive. The 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 are probably the most stable versions. I'd be most happy if you try it out and let me know you have any problems with it. Best regards, /Niels (LSH author)
