Hi folks,

I've been playing with the PPP over SSH options in the dialout module,
but I've run into a slight snag.  The problem is that when Linuxconf
tries to set up the connection it calls ssh with the flags "-r -E ...",
neither of which ssh supports (I've checked both ssh 1.2.26 and 2.0.9). 
Which version of ssh was used for the development of this module?  Would
it be possible to modify the module to support the current versions?

Something else that I noticed: Linuxconf, by default, assumes that ssh
is in /usr/bin/ssh but on my machine I have it installed in
/usr/local/bin/ssh.  But when I set up and tried to activate the link,
Linuxconf didn't warn me that ssh wasn't in the expected location and I
had to sort it out from the error messages printed to the console.  Now
I'm thinking this is a bit of a design flaw.  It's maybe a small thing,
but fixing small things like this can sometimes save a lot of
aggravation.  I was thinking maybe daemon_find() could be modified to do
a quick check of whether the file exists and just pop up a small error
message if it can't find it.  Just an idea.
