ssh protocol in 5.3

[John Conover]

>From 5.3 do ssh -1 mylog at myhost.com. You can also set a protocol, 1 or
2, in the ssh configs, either globally in /etc/ssh ... or
~/.ssh/config.

You can also use both, at the same time. ~/.ssh/known_hosts and
~/.ssh/authorized_keys can have both protocol 1 and 2 records in the
same file; the identity files are different for 1 an 2, but have
different file names in 1 and 2, so can coexist in ~/.ssh.
