Because you can set it up password-less, and you automatically have x11-forwarding enabled ($DISPLAY environment, MIT cookie etc). There's also scp and sftp (and rsync which can also work with ssh), but now I'm talking about non-local uses :) _VERY_ convenient. The only thing I need to remember to do is to do "eval $(ssh-agent)" before I do a startx and everything from there is magically secure and password-less. (I only use su rarely for quick hacks). > Jesse Keating Cheers Tony -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
