Re: open vs. commercial ssh

["David O. Torrey, Jr." <tj@xxxxxxx>]

Personally, I've never understood the practical reasons for switching to
openSSH in a non-commercial environment.  (If that doesn't get me flamed,
I dunno what will).  It comes with several distros now, but can be
removed.

I use ssh.com's non-comm version, and figured if they ever start charging
or change the licensing, I'd switch to openSSH at that point.  Of course,
I've had it for some time and have scripts, etc, designed to work with
publickey authentication.

Thanks,
Dave
