Ok - thanks. stunnel is something 'useful' to study. Hopefully I will not
have to hit my head against the wall too often.

That said - is there (an official) way to disable ssh1 in the server
(e.g.,  --without-ssh1          Disable support for SSH protocol 1) but
keep support in the client?

That is how I would like to package it as of today.

And I expect, (read hope) that even though support is compiled in, I could
still disable it - by default - in the client via ssh_config.

p.s. Hubert - my apologies for the double send, forgot reply-to-all.
