FYI, anybody who has not updated to 10.2.8 *is* driving an unsafe car 
anyway.  You're running a computer with a known unpatched 
vulnerability.  Every other flavour of Unix and Linux have already 
dealt with the ssh vulnerability, while those using OS X are still 
vulnerable because the patch was included in the update.

I'm not impressed with that at all.
