Hi,
I'm trying to install 7.2-RELEASE on a pretty new system (a Fujitsu
RX300S5).
The first obstacle was the fact that while the system has an
AT-Keyboard-Controller, it ist not used (keyboard and mouse are
connected via USB) and I have found that I can get past that by specifying
set hint.a

rsh is as secure as the communication channel. If it can be considered

rlogin has several serious security problems:
rsh and ssh are so similar in use there's really no point in using rsh
at all any more.
there is a point. Just try to think why instead of simply repeating a
