perfsonar development work

[Nicolas Simar <>]

Hi Danijel

could you please provide a quick update to CAndido about the status of 
the authentication with visualperfsonar. Can you confirm it does still 
work with the latest version of the telnet/ssh MP.

Stijn,
can you please point Danijel towards the latest installed version so 
that it can be tested.


Cheers,
Nicolas
