Sorry to all the folk that have waited so long and patiently for this, but I have _finally_ cut a release of SSLrshd and friends. They can be downloaded from ftp://ftp.quick.com.au/sjg/ or http://www.quick.com.au/ftp/pub/sjg/ SSLrshd is the server for ssl_rcmd(), they work just like rshd and rcmd() except that trust is placed in X.509 certificates and nothing needs to be set-uid root. If a host trusts my certificate, then it does not care where I make requests from. The functionality is the same, but the security is vastly different. See http://www.quick.com.au/ftp/pub/sjg/help/SSLrsh.html for more details. I gave up on the idea of adding support for GNU, make, so you still need to obtain bmake, my bmake.tar.gz in the same directory uses GNU configure so should build reasonably easily - it certainly does on SunOS,Solaris,HP-UX and IRIX. See http://www.quick.com.au/ftp/pub/sjg/help/bmake.html for more details. SSLrsh-1.0.tar.gz contains SSLrsh SSLrshd SSLrcp and SSLrdist actually to build SSLrdist you must have the USC rdist distribution handy. and of course libsslfd which makes adding SSL and other crypto hooks to network daemons such as rshd, telnetd and even ftpd almost trivial. Since libsslfd is a pre-requisit for my stelnet and SNFS, I hope to get those packaged up and released soon. --sjg
