Exactly so--I'm interested in communication between local systems used by myself. No need for security. In fact, most of my systems don't use passwords for login. Why? When I'm the only one using them, demanding the use of passwords and encryption is pure insanity. I have enough of a problem remembering the host names of the various boxes. I might as well install cipher locks on all the interior doors of my house. It wouldn't make me one bit more secure--just frustrated with the useless effort. --Chuck
