> SSH2 in any form helps a ton. Taruti wrote a simple ssh2 client in go called scpu[1][2] that I've been using since last summer. It builds on Plan 9 with gmake and her (now outdated) port of go[2]. The command line options mirror those of cpu(1), and it works well with factotum(4).
There is also a port of an older version of OpenSSH in fgb's contrib. I've been using this for quite a while as well. Neither of these fulfill the requirement for a native Plan 9 program, but both have proven useful. -sl [1] https://bitbucket.org/taruti/scpu/ [2] http://plan9.stanleylieber.com/pkg/386/scpu-2012.03.15.tbz [3] http://plan9.stanleylieber.com/pkg/386/go-2011.05.10.tbz
