Yet better, why wouldn't NetApp build and distribute the SSH implementation outside the USA? Then it would be available to all users, no matter where they lived. One of the most popular SSH implementations comes from Datafellows, a Finnish company.
It's possible that Netapp does not have the resources to maintain developers outside of the U.S., but if they did, I would think Canada would be the most economical choice. ;-) Still, it may be a sticky situation because Netapp is still a U.S. company, employing mostly American software developer talent. They might have to team up with an independent foreign software house who writes all the code and integrates it into OnTAP. Not an easy proposition.
