OK. I need to give SSH access to my machine to about 10/20 people. They mostly use windows, some use Mac, and some sensible ones use GNU/Linux. Most are not "technically disposed".
My basic idea is to use Java for them to do this- there is no xserver on this machine btw. MindTerm springs to mind... however the source code is no longer available. I would accept a BSD or (l)GPL license, however, looking at the freshmeat page:-
"the license of the SSH2 package has not been decided and hence the license of MindTerm v1.99 can't be GPL (or anything else for that matter) until this is decided. The license will be decided before the end of this year, until then the v1.99 will be a demo with a restricted license and no source code will be made available. All code up to and including v1.2.1 is and will of course be GPL."

All source code and previous versions have been removed. However, MacSSH is SSH2 only, and has been released under GPL: http://pro.wanadoo.fr/chombier/
I would like advice on this subject. Should I just implement SSH v1 and thus be able to go via the Java route, or should I wait for a Java SSH2 client. Hmm. I'm a little confused.
