Fair enough Les, but do you (or anyone else) know some sort of "hands 
free" way to script authorized_keys2 into everyone's .ssh directory?  My 
reasoning for rsh was none other than I didn't want to create a public 
key for each user.  Is my thinking backwards?  If there is a way I can 
get SSH do work as painlessly as rsh will (in theory, I've never used 
rsh, but it's been around a while) I'm all ears.

Anyone?

Thanks,
