Changes since OpenSSH 4.1 include security bug fixes relating to GatewayPorts, and GSSAPI, which eliminates the risk of credentials being inadvertently exposed to an untrusted user/host.

There is no question that Mr. deRaadt is quite outspoken. But he can produce some damn fine and mighty secure code. I have nothing but the utmost respect for his coding abilities, even if his public relations skill are lacking.

Frankly, I'd rather put up with arrogance and have access to amazing code, rather than dealing with a nice person who can't write code worthy of a cockfool.
