Yep. And you won't. ssh uses rsa encryption, which is covered by
patents. rsaref is a "refernce" (not optimized) implimentation of the rsa
algorythms. It has a restrictive license, which is why I think we can't
distribute it. :-)

I think you can grab the pakcage source for just it (and pkgsrc/mk),
comple, and all will be well.

Take care,
