My problem is it provides much more than I need.
I just need to log in to another Mac to execute
commands there. I don't care securities, or anything.
rlogin is good enough for me.
I don't want to copy a public key over to that machine ( I don't have to
in Panther. But have to in Tiger) before I could talk to that machine.
This is a nightmare to me.

non-linux systems, what doesn't Net::SSH::Perl or Net::SSH provide that
Net::Telnet would?

Thanks. You make it very clear.
I have assumed they should be the same.
I took a look at Net::SSH and it seems it is not what
I want. It is much easier to install Net::SSH though.
SSH has been a big headache to me. I wish OS X
just has telnet. It is good enough for my purpose.
I wish SSH has an option that says turn it into rlogin or
telnet.

Other than the installation, which I will certainly grant you
Net::SSH::Perl can be a pain with its dependencies, especially on
non-linux systems, what doesn't Net::SSH::Perl or Net::SSH provide that
Net::Telnet would?
There might be a solution to your issues if you can post some more
about
the problem.
Regardless, in the end Expect should make either respond in the same
way. Granted I wouldn't want to do it either, but Expect can handle
just
about anything, and Net::SSH::Perl's 'shell' method should provide the
interactive capability needed when using Expect.
You could always write a telnet server to run on Mac OS X in Perl ;-).
Though I think it was wise for Apple to not even bother installing it,
they wouldn't want to get a reputation for having M$ type of security
settings...
