Lots of people have such programs. There are probably several dozen running on various insecure machines throughout MITnet right now. The usual answer is Kerberized rlogin/telnet or S/Key; in our group we use both (and I've been tasked to find or create a working S/Key implementation for our Alphas under four different versions of OSF/1). > The purpose is to force the use of this (or any > equivalent technology). _They_ would prefer this to be SSLeay. /I/ would prefer it to be the Internet Authentication and Encapsulating Security payloads myself. If I ever have free time again I may write support myself (although I'd prefer to have somebody else's code). > Well?
