-I believe ssh does not encrypt any of its files.
-It's perfectly transparent to connect over encrypted IP as long as you
use a TCP or UDP protocol: ssh uses TCP. Actually, ssh will encrypt its
own data over its TCP connection, and your IP encryption layer will
encrypt the resulting IP frame. You will get double encryption; that's
not a problem as long as you don't care about the slight decrease of
performances your double encription algorithm induces!
Hope this helps
