Purpose: describe what ssh is, where to find it, and what connections to Tcl it has.

See http://www.openssh.org/ for an open implementation of the
secure protocol for starting shell commands across an inter/intranet.


[[In the meantime, start with

Anyone know of a Tcl extension binding to one of the ssh libraries?

Perhaps [D. J. Hagberg]'s example of port forwarding, from 1998 [http://groups.google.com/groups?oi=djq&selm=an_408378721] is useful.

Another suggestion was [TLS].

[TV] I've within some limitations, used the cygwin [http://www.cygnus.com] ssh facility, which is quite extensive, except varying from a drag to requiring out of package documentation to install. It is almost unix, though. It also contains working executables to use openSSL to create and deal with certificates, I  used it succesfully to make a secure httpd tick, except I forgot how.
