I just need to log in to another Mac to execute

rlogin is good enough for me.
Well, there is a company taking contracts from the credit card
companies that "just needed some real world data to test something
with" and "wasn't going to have that data where it could be accessed
improperly". And how many hundreds of thousands of credit card numbers
worldwide have been stolen?
I don't want to copy a public key over to that machine ( I don't have
to
in Panther. But have to in Tiger)
This doesn't really make sense. Are you sure that you didn't connect by
hand in pather once, and answer the query about whether you would
accept the certificate or not? Once the certificate was accepted, perl
in Panther might have been accessing the user's .ssh?
Are there any environment files that didn't get transferred or rebuilt,
or, if you just upgraded, were there some settings files that got
erased?
before I could talk to that machine.
This is a nightmare to me.
Eventually, this kind of thing will get straightened out a bit. But we
who write programs still need to be aware of when we need to identify
and when we need to encrypt and when we can just spit data. (If we
don't, who will?)
