6) Finding a unix ssh that supports 3DES and DES.
I curse those OpenSSH folks for making me have to trudge through the code to find out how to get DES working...
6a) Finding a release on CCO that supports 3DES.
You are probably aware, but EFF published the DES crack. I understand that it is now an issue of cracking DES in less than 12 hours. 3DES is better but it only amounts to DES with a 128-bit key. Definitely a limited shelf-live.
