Does anyone know if there are MS-Dos or Mac versions of the ssh client? How much is ssh used?
Ssh is good stuff -- we use it here. Things I like: - It's an easy, drop-in replacement for the r* commands. It's easy to get people to use it. - It creates that much more encrypted traffic on the net. That can only be a good thing, eh? - There are a few different authentication modes, which makes life easy. Host keys can be used for fixed machines; per-user keys can sit on the laptop and work no matter whose network you've plugged into today. When my local ISP found a password sniffer running on his machine and went into red alert, I just smiled and didn't bother to change my passwords on hosts I had logged into via the ISP's net.
