hi,
is there any plan to include High Performance SSH/SCP - HPN-SSH into
fedora's ssh?

I noticed that for scp if you disable compression (yes disable),
then transfer rate increases a lot. I looked at it very quickly
and it seemed worse the more the data compressed.
Also Protocol=1 seems much better:
dd bs=1M count=50 if=/dev/zero of=50MB_zeros
dd bs=1M count=50 if=/dev/urandom of=50MB_random
$ scp localhost:50MB_random /tmp
50MB_random 100% 50MB 10.0MB/s 00:05
$ scp -C localhost:50MB_random /tmp
50MB_random 100% 50MB 4.6MB/s 00:11
$ scp -C localhost:50MB_zeros /tmp
50MB_zeros 100% 50MB 2.3MB/s 00:22
#setting Protocol=1 in sshd_config I get the following speed:
$ scp -C localhost:50MB_zeros /tmp #Includes time to type password!
50MB_zeros 100% 50MB 12.5MB/s 00:04
When talking about improvements to ssh, chrootssh seems useful:
http://chrootssh.sourceforge.net/
Also upstream openssh breaks X forwarding in interesting ways
unless -Y is specified (at least fedora fixes this).
Also scp does full remote login etc.
even if local specified files don't exist
Also scp has weird error messages:
$ scp /etc/fstab localhost:/non_existent/
scp: /non_existent/: Is a directory
Don't get me started...
