I'm wondering, if there exists a secure equivalent to rcmd/rexec? Perhaps, 
somewhere in libssh?

I need to send data to a command line on another machine, but popen-ing an ssh 
session seems like a rather inferior method, because there is no way to 
(portably) access the command's stderr...

Thanks!
