How??? I'm facing this exact same problem now. I'm considering
blocking telnet so that people from home are obliged to use ssh and
stop sending passwords in the clear (we've had two invasions already
from someone who knew the password). The problem is that I'll allow
only RSA authentication, and the user therefore WILL HAVE to enter the
password for each scp connection they make...
The only work-around I know for this is to use ssh-agent, but from
home people will only be using rwin-dows, and it doesn't exit in the
teraterm implementation of rwin-dows :-(
Any alternative that doesn't involve paying for ssh in rwin-dows??
