Has anyone seen a port of ssh/sshd for 2.11BSD? I'm just a bit uncomfortable using

SSH is going to be a tough sell for a PDP-11. I usually just use
serial from a spare port on a nearby server; it's a two-step
process, but it's not so bad. There are also simple dedicated
terminal redirection programs that you could use, or you could
write one as a login shell.
It looks like this will be the way to go. Given the (relatively) huge memory
footprint for the crypto, and the sheer amount of computation required, the pdp11 just
isn't up to the job.
