Damn, I thought I knew ssh had been free at one point, but when I noticed the non-free license in the late teens, I obviously failed to go back far enough to find the free version. Anyway, I'll take it, given that I do ssh anyway it should be little extra hassle (unless anyone thinks that Data Fellows could use that as an excuse for calling any work I do as copyright infringement, but that doesn't strike me as likely) I'll probably end up calling the new package ssh-free Cheers, Phil.
