This should not be done with SSH-1. It's more reasonable with SSH-2, but
you'd still have to be careful, e.g. you mustn't use password
authenticatino, because the password would go in the clear. In any case,
most SSH software does not allow you to select "no encryption," to prevent
people from shooting themselves in the foot.

Why do you think it's a problem?
