That will work, but what I meant is that an alias shouldn't be necessary
at all; OpenSSH usually uses SSH2 protocol automatically if the server
supports it and falls back to SSH1 only if necessary. The only systems
that I am aware of where this does not happen properly is on the CS
department computers. Something on those computers is setup strangely so
that OpenSSH clients think they need to fall back to SSH1 mode unless
forced to continue with the SSH2 protocol.

I thought this was the way the source code came...I haven't made any
changes of my own.
