OpenSSH isn't the "pioneer" in this area. I myself wrote the patch to
add support for the SECURITY extension for ssh.com's version of ssh and
other applications exists which make use of the SECURITY extensions (for
example: The "Trusted" versions of Unix).

The SECURITY extension is fine so far. Please FIX the toolkits - most of
them (except Motif2) currently don't care about the existance of the
SECURITY extension.
