OSX 10.4.7 Update

This update includes a new version of SSH (OpenSSH 4.2) which uses a new mechanism for doing Kerberos authentication. The new version fixes a weakness in the old version. Unfortunately, the two mechanisms don't inter-operate and there is no backwards compatibilty provided.

Before applying the 10.4.7 update, make a copy of /usr/bin/ssh so that you'll have the old version for connecting to old servers.
