    The OpenSSH improvments should help us all...

    # OpenSSH 4.4:

            * Conditional configuration in sshd_config(5) using the Match directive. This allows some configuration options to be selectively overridden if specific criteria (based on user, group, hostname and/or address) are met.
            * Add support for Diffie-Hellman group exchange key agreement with a final hash of SHA256.
            * Added a ForceCommand directive to sshd_config(5), similar to the command="..." option in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys.
            * Added a PermitOpen directive to sshd_config(5), similar to the permitopen="..." option in authorized_keys, to allow control over the port-forwardings that a user is allowed to establish.
            * Added an ExitOnForwardFailure option to cause ssh(1) to exit (with a non-zero exit code) when requested port forwardings could not be established.
            * Added optional logging of transactions to sftp-server(8).
            * ssh(1) will now record port numbers for hosts stored in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys when a non-standard port has been requested.
            * Extended the sshd_config(5) "SubSystem" directive to allow the specification of commandline arguments.
            * Many manpage fixes and improvements
