 Please add support for basic (empty TCP/UDP packets to certain ports) port
 knocking, which is a simple security system often used with SSH.   It
 should be very easy to add support.

 Port knocking is good because it's easy (especially compared to keys and
 other VPN stuff) for users, network administrators, and software
 developers.  Port knocking helps mitigate random dictionary attacks.

 Right now our Mac OS X user has to use a script in a terminal, which is
 not convenient.
