Hello,

1. Any problems (security, performance, etc.) with running Secure Shell
   ssh/sshd?

2. Anyone test the impact of changing an HSZ40 MAXIMUM_CACHED_TRANSFER
   parameter from the default 32 to 128 or 256? A knowledgeable Digital
   product manager recommends increasing the parameter from the default
   to improve overall performance. I have a pair of HSZ40 (dual-redundant)
   with 16MB and another pair of HSZ40 (dual-redundant) with 32MB.

3. Is the HSZ50 a seamless upgrade over the HSZ40? Is it true the HSZ50
   is replacing the HSZ40? Does the HSZ40 and HSZ50 run the same HSOF
   firmware?

4. The 4.0x and the 3.2G AdvFS OSF375-350324 contain a version of mkfdmn
   that supports Bitfile Metadata Table (MBT) preallocation. This option
   appears to eliminate BMT fragmentation. For example,
   mkfdmn -p 28800 -x 1024 /dev/rzb25c rzb25c_domain. Any known problems
   with preallocating the BMT in general?
