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.
