I am considering putting together an alternative secure communications
method using the encrypt/decrypt symmetric stuff built into Lua. It is
probably not too hard to make ssh scp sftp equivalents this way, that are
very small- with the large caveat that for the symmetric encryption you
would not have public/private key setup. But it would work fine for many
things, and not require the overhead of the big ssh. It should *not* be
hard to compile ssh/scp/sftp for libc5, just use the redhad libc5
environment... -Tom
