Several people on other mailing lists have pointed out that Nagle
should make this much harder, although it's unclear how Nagle and
ssh interact.  So far that has resulted in a number of degenerating
discussions of how things work.  Of course, Nagle will not help
between two machines on the same ethernet segment, but probably
would make the process described in the paper much harder.

All of this aruges for Kerberos or some other cryptographic system
so once you're authenticated once there is little or no need to type
additional passwords.
