To add to your comment, if you actually do convince them that trading keys
between machines and using rsh->ssh, you're the first one them blame when
something goes wrong. Quite frankly that sucks.
What is RedHat's customer experience when they have done stuff like
"masquerade" one app as another? IOW: Add a little code so that ssh is
aware of $0 and acts accordingly. At least that could start forcing the
migration path.
