Any chance of getting latest version (released ad feb-2009) of ssh in?

Current version in 11.1 is openssh-5.1p1,
while in some home directories on the OBS lingers openssh-5.2p1-11.1.

Major advancement with 5.2 version (if enabled at compile time !!) is
the possiblity to use certificates (PKI) instead of just asymetric
pre-shared-keys.

Seems to be a major security step.

Factory has openssh 5.2p1 already.

Version / feature updates are rarely done for old products.

Ciao, Marcus
