i hope this is correct forum, but i've modified the openssh-3.4p1 so that a -z option can be used to specify a passphrase on a command line. i'm sure that there several good (security) reasonz not to do it, but i can think of at least 2 reasonz why i would want it. would my modificationz be worthy of submission as an optional patch or as configure option? if not, may i post my changez on my own web site? thank u for ur time! randy blahut rblahut at aol.com
