A few days ago I wouldn't have known either but now our computer laboratory tells us that in the future we will no longer be allowed to use insecure login methods like telnet or rlogin as the incidence of snooping of plain text passwords is now unbearably high. ssh encrypts transmitted data. For enlightenment have a look at http://www.ssh.fi/sshprotocols2/ If I am wrong and ssh is a variant of sh, ash, bash, csh, ksh, tcsh, zsh etc. then I apologise. Have all the ?sh combinations been used yet? Sad days.... Bernard -- Bernard P. Murray, PhD Dept. Cell. Mol. Pharmacol., UCSF, San Francisco, USA
