Slashdot article on 'insecure' security tools for Linux.

I read this article a little while ago on Slashdot:

<http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/09/22/2127236&mode=thread&tid=106&tid
=126&tid=172&tid=185>

It references a email from a security expert that basically slams various
Linux 'ssh want-to-be-but-easier-to-use' packages by noting some flaws in
their respective implementations. The article or email doesn't mention
zebedee which is a veritable alternative to ssh as well.

I'm not a security expert (or cryptographic programmer), so I don't know if
zebedee itself has any of the weaknesses discussed.  At the very least, I
mention this article so that Neil, et al, could possibly become aware of any
potential weaknesses in zebedee based on the ones discussed. For all I know,
zebedee doesn't have these kind of problems. :) However, I use zebedee a lot
and want it to be the best that it can be...

Thanks.
