I responded suggesting SRP, you could also use skey (though I dont know
how to set ip up under Linux)..
But I was thinking, if you telnet in and authenticate, an 'attacker' you
take over your connection and execute arbartary commands. Not good. You
really want authentication too, perhaps ssh in non-crypto mode would be
good here (does it sign packets?)
