Will we also be putting OpenSSH on there? That's what we've got on
subversions, and it would be nice have a standard. When I looked this
weekend, the lsh pages also said that the current versions should not be
expected to provide any security.
Last I heard RMS wasn't to keen on OpenSSH. I don't think he said no, but
this came up some time ago and I think we decided to stick with Kerberos
and opie until lsh was ready. I forget the detail, a patent or something.
IMO, the standard ought to be Kerberos (|Heimdal). [ls]sh just encrypts,
it doesn't do the authentication the way Kerberos does. I'm not wild
about having 47 different ways to get into these machines. I don't want
to sound like a BOFH but it is easier to manage 1 or 2 methods than
many.
Besides, I like Kerberos :^)
