the bandwidth of long fat pipes (i.e. 100Mbps+ trans-oceanic or
trans-continental links). Bandwidth-delay products up to 64MB are
supported.
Also add support (not compiled by default) for the None cypher. The
None cypher can only be enabled on non-interactive sessions (those
without a pty where -T was not used) and must be enabled in both
the client and server configuration files and on the client command
line. Additionally, the None cypher will only be activated after
authentication is complete. To enable the None cypher you must add
-DNONE_CIPHER_ENABLED to CFLAGS via the make command line or in
/etc/make.conf.
This code is a style(9) compliant version of these features extracted
from the patches published at:

Merging this patch has been a collaboration between me and Bjoern.

I have worked hard to reduce diffs against the vendor branch. One
notable change in that respect is that we no longer prefer DSA over
RSA - the reasons for doing so went away years ago. This may cause
some surprises, as ssh will warn about unknown host keys even for
hosts whose keys haven't changed.
MFC after: 6 weeks
- sshd fails to set TERM correctly.
- privilege separation may break PAM and is currently turned off.
- man pages have not yet been updated
I will have these issues resolved, and privilege separation turned on by
default, in time for DP2.

"non-echoed" characters are still echoed back in a null packet, as well
as pad passwords sent to not give hints to the length otherwise.
