just a little heads-up guys in case you're using PuTTy:

[quote]
PuTTY 0.56, released today, fixes a serious security hole which can allow a server to 
execute code of its choice on a PuTTY client connecting to it. In SSH2, the attack can 
be performed before host key verification, meaning that even if you trust the server 
you think you are connecting to, a different machine could be impersonating it and 
could launch the attack before you could tell the difference.

We recommend everybody upgrade to 0.56 as soon as possible.
