Introducing SSH (Secure Shell) Version 1.0 ...
Quibbles/suggestions: ssh, while an obvious name, already collides with a nice shar decoder and a different kind of secure shell from CFS. Probably a worthwhile collision though. Second: It would be very helpful if the socket connection could be made (optionally) through a telnet proxy for firewalls (with optional quoting of problem characters). I've actually done this with TERM and a helper program. I may produce a patch for this. Third: Of course support for S/Key and tokens/hand held authenticators would be useful additions for some situations (although inferior to RSA...). Forth: Someone needs to crank out a Windows/Mac client... (Lower priority, but still useful.) Fifth: udprelay etc. could also be borrowed from the term suite. Sixth: Integration with TCP/NFS and/or client-server CFS would be fantastic. (One local CFS server acting as a secure client over tcp to a remote CFS server.)
