[Bug 54180] Re: [rfe] sshd ought to support 'none' cipher

[Alex Lee]

Hello Folks,

I hate to beat an already "terribly beaten horse" but I'd like to say
that I would like the null cipher option to be available. The reason
being is that working for a WAN optimization company, the need to "see"
the unencrypted traffic is paramount in order to reduce SSH's network
footprint. In terms of security, most WAN optimization vendors do
provide a "secured transport" (IPSEC or SSL-based tunnels)  across the
WAN to prevent passwords and app-data from being snooped.

Trust me, I do understand the desire to prevent SSH users from shooting
themselves and their company's in the foot, however, having a null
cipher option does have value - in the WAN opt case, its a business
/network-cost-savings value.

Alex
