Just checked this, and I can make ssh connections from a 
non-privileged port. I haven't looked at the ssh protocol spec, but 
what little I know of it suggests that a privileged port wouldn't 
increase security.

It would be great to have the ability to do ssh from inside Squeak... 
but probably a non-trivial task.
