[lug] ssh (was: sudo vs. su stuff)

[Harris, James A (Jim)]

Less than free?  How so?  I've been using the server and client end on Linux
and the client end on windows a while and have never had to buy a client
program.  (Granted, some of the free windows ones aren't overly robust, but
for the most part, I really don't need robust when I'm remote... if I do, I
tell it to wrap an x-session...)

Secure shell.  Check out: http://www.ssh.fi/

Allows encrypted connections from one host to another, supports various 
forms of user authentication.  However it is less than free, especially the
second version of ssh.  lsh is a GNU attempt at a free version that supports
the SSH2 protocol, however it is still in alpha.
