Oberon has a client for protocol Telnet and a client for SSH. bash, dash, sudo, rlogin and many other tools don't exist in Oberon. I avoided discussing this deliberately. For most readers it's an annoying digression; for some will cause mental upset. In most Debian situations, once a user is logged in to the system, a shell session is opened without a password. "telnet localhost" is analogous to that. "ssh localhost" is rarely used. If sitting in a public place, be careful that someone isn't watching when you type the password. > So I think we really do still need to know more about your use case. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oberon_(operating_system) https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Oberon I tried to make the orginal question as specific as possible.
