Which is exactly where I fall for the next 4.5 months, and I refuse to be
throwing unencrypted passwords across a cablemodem for any length of time.

I have no information one way or the other concerning OpenSSH stability,
until either I set up CVS to download the OpenSSH development tree, or
OpenSSH.org produces a release with SECSH compatibilty.

I suspect OpenSSH will be more stable in my environment, only because it
is being developed on OpenBSD, which is closely related to FreeBSD, which
is what I use, though recent versions of LSH seem quite stable for me
already.
