I'm very much in favor of "biodiversity," but if you're talking about FreSSH (fressh.org), then, as far as I'm aware, it's a) only v1, and b) pretty dead. Personally, I'm exploring the feasibility of non-ssh alternatives (ssl-wrapped versions of telnet/rsh/etc, enterprise-wide ipsec and telnet/rsh/etc, etc...). Does anyone have any other ideas along these lines? But yeah, definitely biodiversity. ssh has embraced and extended rsh to the point where people depend on all sorts of features that are unique to ssh (and aren't even directly security related), and openssh is really the only mature, featureful, supported and free implementation out there, so when stuff like this comes up, we're really pretty helpless.... -Jason ----------------------------------------------------------------------- I worry about my child and the Internet all the time, even though she's too young to have logged on yet.
