I think that a sensible default is to assume the name of the current user is the name to use to ssh to the remote system if none is given. Additionally, I recommend an option to allow the user to specify the command to invoke on the remote side. That is, I ran into a situation on a deployment of RedHat workstations where I cannot use my own user account since I do not have /usr/sbin in my PATH. RedHat's sudo is not compiled to clean up the environment properly, and so when ssh'ing as myself into another machine, I get a 'si_update: command not found' (or something like that). An option like --remote-cmd or something like that is what I am thinking. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sánchez http://people.connexer.com/~roberto http://www.connexer.com
