Re: manager level discussion on r-commands vs ssh.

                             The effect of using ssh vs rlogin
                                    
           For the following experiment, a directory listing (the ls
           command) was requested remotely, and the data packets were
        'sniffed' from the network using the ethereal network utility:
                                        
                  The actual text received at the console was:
                          Desktop dhcpd.conf host.conf hosts
                        httpd ircd-2.10.3-1.i386.rpm ircd.conf
                             named named.conf outgoing ssh
                                        
          The packets from the rlogin connection (with colour control
                         characters removed) contained:
                          Desktop dhcpd.conf host.conf hosts
                        httpd ircd-2.10.3-1.i3 86.rpm ircd.conf
                               named named.conf outgoing
                                        
                 The packets from the ssh connection contained:
                .@Ð.Â¥!..¤ÂlJ..E..d.o@.@..¾À¨B.ˬB....4.

I guess the best thing to do is your own test. Setup two boxes, set
Ethereal to sniff the traffic and compare your results.
