    Hello,

    due to the security policy of my institute, I cannot use ssh when its
    encrypted.

    But I need to login as root on a distant machine, and I don't want its
    password to pass on the network.

    The only solution I see is using ssh with :
    PermitRootLogin without-password
    in sshd_config, and using the "none" cipher with protocol 1. Right ?

    Then I apply the patch posted in this newsgroup by "Un L'Unique" on July
    2, 2002. But it does not work :

    The patch has been applied to sshd on host2. From host1, if I do
    % ssh -1 -c none toto@host2
    it says
    No valid SSH1 cipher, using 3des instead.
    anf it finishes the login procedure, but with encryption.

    What did I do wrong ? Is there another solution to my problem ?
