Note, however, that ssh2 does have hooks in the server to allow it to forward a
connection to an ssh1 server if an ssh1 client attempts to connect to the ssh2
server. I run this on my own system and it works fine. Since at least some
copmmercial ssh2 clients are *not* backward compatible to ssh1 (a nasty
marketing
ploy, I suspect...), this is a handy feature if you have to support both ssh2
and ssh1 clients.
