attributes in one call

Transport

v0.9 (ivysaur) 22oct04
----------------------

longer necessary to subclass Transport or Channel -- server code will

crypto negotiation on a new session

* added SFTPClient.normalize() to resolve paths on the server

host key to verify
v0.9 (fearow) 23apr04
---------------------
* Transport.send_ignore() -- send random ignored bytes

[server]
