Thanks for the tip.  Will have a look as soon as I get the time to play 
again :-(

I'm in the same boat!  If you find out about "none" then please let us 
know.  If the code for a "none" cypher really is there, then it may be 
straightforward to turn it on.  Then again, there may be a good reason 
why it *isn't* turned on.  Might be worth asking on an ssh mailing list 
about this one... will be looking for one as soon as I get the time to 
play again :-(  (Damn, I hates work; sigh).
