Is anybody at Perforce thinking about support for SSL (TLS,...) ? It might
be somewhat faster to do the encryption/decryption work inside the client
itself instead of inoking a different program (ssh), and avoids the port
forwarding problem that sandy addresses.

This model, as opposed to the port forwarded model, should be much
more secure in that there is no port that a random user can use to
access
the server (during port forwarding, the port is open for general
consumption
and use). [...]
