*[Trac time 20100208 163141Z]* Using the time-expiring caches for SFTP connections, I denial-of-serviced myself to a server that looks for brute force ssh attacks by the number of connections per minute from the same IP. There's probably no real reason to expire the connections, given the assumption that there aren't really going to be that many simultaneous connections.
