   I'm still wondering why OpenSSH is _so_ inferior to SSH.COM's ssh2

Is it really open-source? I couldn't find any reference to source
downloads or licensing terms on http://www.ssh.com/. It mentions OpenSSH
as an open-source alternative.

  Well, security/ssh2 port builds all binaries from sources which are
freely available at ftp://ftp.ssh.com/pub/ssh/ . The following URL:

http://www.ssh.com/support/downloads/secureshellserver/non-commercial.html

contains both download URLs and "Non-commercial license agreement for SSH Secure Shell for Servers" link.

the only option which present in ssh2 while absent in OpenSSH, second
very useful one is:

        AuthInteractiveFailureTimeout   10

which make SSH-password-guessing robots to give up after the first attempt ;)

You might like to suggest these features to the OpenSSH developers!
http://www.openssh.com/report.html

  Well, maybe I'll do that if/when ssh2 becomes unavailable...

Of course, when space is at a premium, Dropbear is the answer to your SSH
questions.

  I suppose that 3rd product can't be an answer to the question why
1st product is worse than 2nd... But thanks for the pointer!
