[lug] OpenSSH upgrade small issue

[Justin]

Yes I'm aware of that, but I want to have protocol 1 available in case 
the server I'm connecting to isn't supporting protocol 2 yet. I think I 
mentioned in my original email that I could indeed force protocol 2, it 
just wasn't using protocol 2 when 2,1 was specified in the ssh_config. 
Hence the reason I asked why it appeared that ssh wasn't reading the 
ssh_config on starting the connection.
