it should be noted that ssh and sshd make use of insecure functions as
mentioned below.

[root@squig ~/work/ssh/ssh-1.2.25] nm sshd | egrep 'getnetname|getsecretkey'
[428]   |    372268|       0|FUNC |GLOB |0    |UNDEF  |getnetname
[527]   |    372280|       0|FUNC |GLOB |0    |UNDEF  |getsecretkey
[root@squig ~/work/ssh/ssh-1.2.25] nm ssh | grep getnetname
