Ouch. I tested F-Secure on a completely installed system of a second company, so I never worried about licensing. I totally agree with you that usage of non-open software is definetly not what I want on my system. I stated the F-Secure comment just to underline that it IS a stable ssh solution. We used it for transfering hundreds of Megs with different protocolls and in contrast to OpenSSH (I believe Version 2.1.anything) there was no crash.
f-secure ssh is a good idea, I tested it for weeks on a RedHat server as stable as ssh even for backups. But as far as I know it doesn't support ssh1. Neither daemon nor client.
You might want to read the license, and then make sure your IT budget has enough room to buy F-secure's product.
I have an article coming out on this subject, it's ... well, I'll post the url once done. Things aren't so happy in happy-land :P.
Happy-land is a nice place to live. If you don't worry about licensing, because it is not YOUR system you test a product on.....
