    Hello,

    We are moving from OpenSSH-3.8 to OpenSSH-3.9 in our organization.We came
    across a feature that this latest version re-exec itself for every new
    connection.It would be beneficial if anyone throw light on this feature
    about its advantages and purpose.This makes considerable connection delay as
    two times seeding takes place.We also came across that -r disbales re-exec
    of sshd.We suspect some execute time randomisations are taking place,but
    what exactly is happening here?what is the new level security imposed here?

    Thanks,
    Sen
