I'm with Ian -- I'd rather see the SSL/PAM solution done properly than this. That said, I don't see why we can't have this transport as well -- it's not a big patch. What happens if SSH isn't installed? I don't see any nice diagnostic of that, so I'm guessing that it just splats out an "execv failed" exception (unless I've missed something).
