md5 passwords are only needed if you installed them. the potato install
asks you "should i enable md5 passwords?". if you did not then that option
would break. and potatoheads like me(i run about 2 dozen potato systems)
use the ssh that comes with it.
you may be able to get the openssh from woody or unstable and rebuild it
from souce to get debs. but i like how potato is stable even if it means
running outdated software.
