What? So you are saying that telnet is better than a fake ssh? Yes, in the sense that it does _NOT_ give the user a sense of fake security. Why? I thought you stand up for security?! Depends on what kind of security. If you want to know what kind of security I stand up for then this is not the forum to discuss that issue. The kind of security that I do _not_ stand up for is the kind that gives the user a fake feeling. Which is what you want todo with adding weirdo hacks. The best suggestion has been to compile Open SSH with its own flags for gathering random bits on systems that do not support /dev/random or /dev/urandom. At best, you can certainly argue that the fake ssh should be well documented, but this is no reason for exclusion. Are you even following this discussion? I have not said a single word of the exlusion of ssh, not even muttered it, or implied it. I am against including a unsecure random translator!!!
