sorry folks, my bad. I should have mentioned what I don't want along with what I want.
What I want is to know if I can mount a remote disk via ssh. What I don't want is ftp, smb, afs, nfs, etc. That is because the remote box is not running any of these. Well, truthfully I don't know about nfs, because I don't know much about nfs... but I know for a fact that the remote box, a beat-up RH Linux clunker, is not running smbd, ftpd, netatalk, telnetd. Once I determine that I can't do what I want via ssh, then I will try to find alternatives... maybe figure out how to install netatalk (would that be the best alternative). But wait! that is another question -- In case I cannot use ssh to mount a remote RH Linux box to my iBook, what is the easiest, most OS X friendly, secure alternative? Is Netatalk the answer (doesn't that provide afs?). Or should I explore sftpd? Thanks.

Similar capability existed in 10.1 but it works better now.
