Replacements
The original Berkeley package which provides rlogin also features rcp (remote-copy, allowing files to be copied over the network) and rsh (remote-shell, allowing commands to be run on a remote machine without the user logging into it). These share the hosts.equiv and .rhosts access-control scheme (although they connect to a different daemon, rshd), and as such suffer from the same security problems. The ssh suite contains suitable replacements for both: scp replaces rcp, and ssh itself replaces both rlogin and rsh.

Famous quotes containing the word replacements:
“The replacements are all like that. Not even old enough to carry a pack. All they know how to do is die.”
—Maxwell Anderson (1888–1959)
