Hi again all!

I've been getting harassments from various people for the last two
days after installing newer versions of OpenSSH. Especially people who
like to use batchfiles and batchmode with SFTP are having various
problems. Basically, they're getting fed up, and me too, with the
whole thing.

1) It looks like SFTP now exits when a command gives an error. You
have to give a stupid '-' before the command to prevent this. This
breaks compatibility with older versions, which crap out when you give
a '-' before the command.

2) The output of "ls" is now different. You have to give it an 'ls -l'
to get the long version.

We have to maintain about 200 different hosts. We can't just update
OpenSSH on all of them every time. Is there something like a
compilibility flags or compile option or something?
