[H-SASIG] Proposed changes to Excalibur

Folks,	

FWIW, I have no objections to any of the proposals and offer this	
comment on the sshd port issue:	

   Running sshd on a port other than 22 does offer a little peace	
   from the script kiddies that keep hitting port 22; however, it	
   doesn't otherwise help security.	

   I wrote http://zwitterion.org/software/ssh-https-tunnel/ to	
   permit SSH to ports 443 and 563 via the UQ proxies, so port	
   563 might be a better choice and 24.	

   Sshd will happily run on multiple ports for a transition	
   period, for example, 22, 24 and 563.  This would all the	
   impact to be immediately judged.
