ssh is not a secured version of rexec, but is a different protocol entirely. You can run rexecd on Linux if you want, but you're going to need to set up iptables to prevent connections from the Outside World. If you don't do that, then your port security scanners are going to find it and report you to the Port Authority. You will then be carted off to the stockade. Implicit is the assumption that 'remote' means 'guest on same system or CEC'. You do not want to send or receive rexecd over real ethernet. > I've searched the VM download page for a ssh client. > I've done some Linux searches for how to dumb down sshd (i.e. to allow > unsecured transfers). > > Of course, there might be program products available, but unless they would be > zero cost products, it's not going to happen in the short term. Sine Nomine has a CMS ssh, scp, and sftp client, but they're not free. See sinenomine.net.
