ssh CAN replace both rsh and rlogin, To do things as you would with rsh,
you use 'ssh <command>'. The trick is that you must first put the public
keys for each system into either /etc/ssh or your .ssh directory (in the
files ssh_known_keys or known_keys respectively). The easiest way to do
this is to slogin from one machine to the other, and then do the same from
the other machine back again - manually approving authentication each
time (by the way - slogin is just an alias for ssh).
Hope that helps,
