Hi all,

Rex 0.42.0 just got released.

This release brings support to use Net::OpenSSH as transport layer. The
default is still Net::SSH2. But now it is possible to use all features from
your $HOME/.ssh/config file and to use Kerberos Authentication.
To use this you have to install Net::OpenSSH and Net::SFTP::Foreign. There
are prebuild packages in the Rex repositories.
On Debian/Ubuntu search for libnet-openssh-perl and
libnet-sftp-foreign-perl. On Redhat-like operating systems search for
perl-Net-OpenSSH and perl-Net-SFTP-Foreign.

Many thanks to all the contributors!
