Actually, 'ssh -t' does not work, nor does '-q' quiet it down. What I
get is the equivalent of 'ssh host /bin/sh'. This is annoying.
As for rsh, well, I can't test it but suspect that it will actually work
right; ssh seems to be being clever here and that causes troubles.
If anyone can try rsh with the patch, please do. I would be interested
in knowing. Otherwise I will continue to live with scp and two seconds
of delay on each file open or save...
