	SUID is only needed when using rhosts or rshost-rsa authentication.
Many installations don't need it. Just set this option [taken from man ssh]:

     UsePrivilegedPort
             Specifies whether to use a privileged port for outgoing connec-
             tions.  The argument must be `yes'' or `no''. The default is
             `yes''. Note that setting this option to `no'' turns off
             RhostsAuthentication and RhostsRSAAuthentication.
