Re: rlogind and rexecd go away? [CVS: cvs.openbsd.org: src]

Chuck said "rsh is bad", it's his opinion. Obviously, this opinion
matches those of many other folks. But why denying people to decide,
what is bad and what isn't? Any way, the original post (by me)
highlighted impossibility to install ssh into the systems not because of
their age, but rather because of support agreements, which deny any
"unwanted" changes to the systems. I really enjoy using OpenBSD, so it's
sad to read such mails... It seems to be the time to update my tiny CVS
tree with r* tools...

Oh, what a perl! So to be named "real computer" you need to be connected
to the Internet? It is real news to me that many powerful servers in our
company are not real computers. Hell, then what are they?
