If you implement kerberos, you could continue to use rexec, rsh, rcp, telnet, ftp, etc. and it would be secure since the kerberized versions encrypt the traffic. This is sometimes easier to implement and control than a ssh approach as it is familiar to the users since they get to continue doing

The PUTTY files are stored on your work-station. If you copy them to another work-station, they should work. To retain your PUTTY setting, LOAD the settings then SAVE them to a file. I recommend using a descriptive filename for the server info you are saving. For instance, save them as z/Linux
