Chris, there is some substance to what he's saying. At RedHat we used
ssh and cipe for working at home away from the office. It was slick. I
haven't had need to use it since, but the entire support team used it
and your passwords were established when you were hired. I've noticed
it's absence but it didn't directly affect me. I guess there is another
defacto scheme used today. Maybe Rahul would qualify what has been
chosen over cipe for internal use. Plus, Les could use that information.
Having encrypted tunneling was pretty nifty. Ric
