 Yes, definitely. I've spent last two years to make it useful and I
 think it requires minimal time for maintenance now (it's reason why
 I've left this package). We have feedback from our customers and FC
 users that they need it and they use it. Reasons:
 
  - high-performance 
  - security overhead
  - traditional UNIX compatibility 
  - around us are people who use non-Linux systems and rsh is very
    important for them


 Maybe we're already somewhere on the way between classic UNIX and 
 Windows, but I think it's still to early to forget classic UNIX rule:

     The right tool for the job.
