I made an addition to the check_by_ssh code to allow for another argument:<br>
<br>
-c <cipher-name><br>
<br>
that you can use to change what type of encryption to use. I did this because
we planned on trying to use "-c none" to see if it reduced some of the ssh-induced
load. We haven't actually tested its effects yet (we need to rebuild ssh
to allow "-c none" first). Does anyone know if this would make a big difference
in ssh's scalability? If so, should I contribute this back?<br>

- check_by_ssh -- great for punching through firewalls where port 22 is already
open (saves you having to punch more holes); doesn't scale well, because
of the crypto computations</font></span></div>
