[wplug] SSH question

[Bryan J Smith]

-c none

Of course, unlike specifying an invalid cipher, it will silently
use the default if the client or server does not support "none".
Again, you need to configure both (possibly patch as well)
so it actually uses "none."

How does one "disable encryption" in open SSH?  The "-c" option will allow you 
to specify the cipher, but I see no way to turn off encryption entirely.
