This patch is mostly fine, thanks.
Some issues I noticed: Please do not link to any SSH implementation and
use the term "SSH2 protocol". (In fact, I'd simply omit that -- hardly
any client these days does not support SSH2, so this may confuse more
users than it helps.)
The update of the page you refer to happened in January this year.
Both items 3 and 4 are optional, in the sense that one doesn't need to
do 3 to do 4. I suggest to merge these two items and use the original
wording (or something like that).
