S/Key works fairly well for the time being. It's not great, but the better D-H solution can't be used yet in the United States... So, how about we get some of our foriegn friends to make the D-H changes to rlogin/telnet (add a -s flag or something) and then set up defaults so that the D-H stuff is only used if: you're outside the US --- Jordan we'll need a config file or something it's after the expire data on the patent (sometime in 1997) I think it would be really cool if the day the patent ran out all the software automagically started doing the right thing. -Dave
