Yeah. I did say I was working on a ssh package a while ago. It's almost done too, but then I still have to sort out the whole mess of encryption laws and copyrights. Ugh. But I don't think ssh will do what you want. It makes the pipe to a Unix system (fairly) secure, but it doesn't make the other system itself any more trustworthy. An evil person with root permission on the other system can still spy on you there. Christian
