As ssh1 is a standalone package it should be possible to put one on the ftp
server. I can build one for i386, m68k  and sparc if someone is interested.
But are we allowed to distribute binaries packages of ssh1 ?

I don't think proposing openssh packages for 1.4.x is doable because of the
dependancies.
