Just as a reminder, Sun Ssh is recently removed from upstream
illumos-gate, so this is what moved the change.

Openssh is available on hipster for some time already and I recently
(month ago or something)
installed openssh instead, anyway, to be able to ssh to Linux remote
machines without messages
and felt everything is fine for now.

Only problem I have seen very recently (under a month) is that it takes
quite some time to log into other OI machine from laptop, after I
started using that machine again as a router for wireless connection.
For some reason, i get ssh prompt faster, if I firstly log into the
console, but that could be for a number a reasons.
