Indeed. I meant the post more as a troll to see what sort of issues would
be raised. So far I haven't seen anything that, at least at first glance,
couldn't be done with ssh and a symbolic link. Is the issue:

1) Users who can't or won't change?

-or-

2) SSH is simply not transparent enough to masquerade as rsh?
