While you express my sentiments exactly, please don't damn the rest of us due to a sophomoric adolescent on the list...
Some people do try to help when possible.

Responses such as |yours highlight the sterling quality of on-line help that one |sometimes encounters on the 'net. </sarcasm> | | Secondly, on secure internal trusted networks with machines |connected by intelligent switches, ssh is far more work than a |simple, lowest-common-denominator approach such as telnet - |especially when dealing with a plethora of different |platforms, OSs, OS revisions, etc., etc., etc. | | If you truly have skads of free time, and have nothing |better to do, please give me a shout and you could install |this on an awful lot of systems, adminster them, explain to |users how all of this works... then see if you are still of |the same mind. | | Do not presume to lecture about security and situations |without knowing + understanding (they *are* different things) |background, stipulations, conditions... As an example, for |your edification, check |out: | | http://paris.cs.berkeley.edu/~dawnsong/ssh-timing.html | |and | http://slashdot.org/articles/00/12/18/0759236.shtml | |and, last but not least: | | |http://www.openwall.com/advisories/OW-003-ssh-|traffic-analysis. |txt | | Alas, this may be wasted time and bandwith - and also |something about pigs and singing comes to mind. | |Regards, | David |
