  Might be worth noting that late versions of ssh have the "none" "cipher"
disabled by default (for security reasons - some bright people used it
because it's faster than the other ciphers, then suddenly noticed their
data going on the LAN as plaintext, and got to conclusion that ssh's
encryption is flawed).

  So you have to enable it again at compile time, ./configure --with-none
