I've included this in the Debian packages of ssh and OpenSSH for some
time.  I also disable X forwarding by default, since that allows
classic X attacks to be launched by untrustworthy remote systems.

These patches should be accepted upstream IMO.

As ever, my openssh stuff can be found here:

I think all changes except the debian/ directory itself should be
either useful or at worst harmless upstream.

Cheers, Phil.
