Well:

        1. SSH1 and OpenSSH hasn't got the license limitations that
           others have. I.e. they're free.

        2. The RSA patent is not valid where I live. I.e. I don't
           break it.

As simple as that.

Still waiting? - come, give us a break.

For me, this list has a considerable delay -- it takes several days
from the time I write a message to the time it appears on the
list. Not good.

And instead of being like "it can't be done", then try reading the
manual. It's a simple use of ssh. I use for example this to connect to
our third nameserver (RaQ3i):

                ssh -L 1234:ns3:81 ns3

And then I open Netscape and enter this URL:


        http://localhost:1234/.cobalt/sysManage/index.html

That's it.
