Summary: ssh should be a package

Initial Comment:
ssh needs to be a package, like everything else.  If c3 
can be a package, so can ssh.

It would allow for other ssh packages to exist later, like 
gsi, kerberos, commercial, etc.

I can't think of a reason that this cannot or should not 
happen, but plenty of reasons that it should.  Before 
anyone says it, no, I'm not talking about shipping an 
ssh.  But it should have rpmlists and API scripts like 
everything else.

That's correct Dave.  Use the package infrastructure to get 
ssh installed.  The fact that it's not a core package right now 
is just a relic of OSCAR's first days.  ssh was needed 
before "core packages" even existed, and also before most of 
the package infrastructure even existed.  Looking at what we 
have now, having ssh hardcoded would be as silly as having 
C3 hard coded.  (ignoring our other mistake of not 
abstracting it's usage, but that's a separate problem)

This would allow use of configurator to get some config 
customization options available.  It would be a core package, 
so there would be no need to worry that it wouldn't be there.

Having it modularized would also allow for custom substitution 
of the package if needed... as many institutions have their 
own custom version of ssh.  It might be kerberos, it might be 
gsi enabled for grid functionality, etc.

Just to clarify, you're not asking for an OSCAR-specific ssh 
RPM (or other package), but an OSCAR package to perform 
various setup tasks to be done.

Correct?

The biggest problem with this is in tools that are built to use 
ssh specifically.  Can we add an ssh daemon without 
disrupting openssh?  Would that even solve the problem?
