Using ssh, I can arrange for secure passwordless authentication. That's a greate convenience I could never achieve with telnet, though I did sort of fudge it with an expect script.

why not just use the ssh trusted keys? mybox$ cd ~/.ssh mybox$ ssh-keygen -t dsa -b 1024 -P '' -f id_dsa mybox$ scp id_dsa.pub user@otherbox:.ssh/authorized_keys The scp will ask for your password. After that, you can ssh, scp or whatever without typing the password. Mike
