Cool new feature in SSH 4.0, Weekend Update
Stumbled across a blog post earlier today on a cool new “connection sharing” feature in SSH 4.0. Basically it multiplexs multiple SSH sessions over a single TCP connection so that subsequent sessions don’t suffer the key exchange and round trip setup delay. Given that I use SSH extensively to a small number of hosts pretty much continuously during my work day this sounds like a very handy feature for me.

In other knews, I’ve been doing some more hacking on darpwatch as a result of some patches I received, so there will be a new release happening soon there. I’m still battling away against Glade, GTK# and F-Spot in my quest to get all my photos exported out of gallery and into a nice F-Spot + Original setup.
Updated PHPwiki packages have been built and have been pending upload for a week or two now, but my sponsor is quite busy at the moment, so there is a bit of a delay at that point inthe path. If you’re desparate for the new packages you can grab them from http://www.mattb.net.nz/debian/.
You mean, exactly like IPsec already does? Gosh. All we have left before SSH can completely replace IPsec is, uhm, let’s see… encryption of UDP, web of trust (X509 certs or equivalent), TOS, and probably some more stuff. SSH - the Internet encryption system for Internet if the future! Everything over TCP, port 22! Woohoo!
