I still like using these in isolated nets where external hackery is of = no concern, and something low-maintenance/overhead is needed. Its been a = while since I did this, I admit, but I=E2=80=99d hate to lose them. They = are, after all, disabled by default, as is telnet. Some time ago I had a separate =E2=80=9Cbackbone=E2=80=9D net on which = my NFS mounts operated. I also ran various inter-box jobs using rsh so I = didn=E2=80=99t have to deal with crypto overhead. The single = outward-facing connection was heavily secured. I'd prefer to see r-utils maintained as part of the core OS, but if = there was a maintained port, I guess I could tolerate that. :-) M --=20 Mark R V Murray
