Practical reason behind of it was:
various sorts of tunneling (FTP via SSH f.e.) can't be enabled, if local
host addresses (excepting localhost) was not added to /etc/opieaccess

Of course, I already read it, but disagree. My point is that OPIE must
either:

a) Detect SSH connection present (which _is_ secure).
b) Relax its insecure restrictions.

Otherwise it is not possible to use OPIE in SSH connections which are more
common nowdays than ever telnet connections.

Old SKEY library use way b)
