[brluglist] theregister: SSH "vulnerability"

[john beamon]

I blew a gut when I read this.

"SSH Hits The Fan For Unix Admins"
Apparently, there's a "gaping security hole" in SSH whereby passwords of
two or fewer characters can be very easily compromised.  Well then, guess
I need to go change all my rewt paswerds before I get 0WN3D by some 'leet
cracker.
Also, OpenSSH does not appear to be affected with this vulnerability.  Go
figger.
