I blew a gut when I read this. http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/55/20594.html "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.
