If you're thinking about patching your ssh server or doing something else elaborate or retarded based on Google's suggestions, see this first. You can do this as of 4.9p1 without resorting to crazy tricks. http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/opensource/?p=229

Stop putting 2u servers into the colo!
8/27/2009 at 4:36 a.m. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Most of you will know who this is directed towards. It has recently come to my attention that certain individuals have been placing 2u servers into the shared colo while only paying for 1u service. This is a big problem. I went down there this weekend with Alex and saw there were only three slots left in the whole cabinet. Needless to say, it was a big pain in the neck to get my server out and the new one in.

I understand that you're able to get 2u at a deep discount. But in the process, you're ruining it for everyone else. Please consider going to one of the many fine used hardware vendors here in Atlanta ...
