Oberon has a client for protocol Telnet and a client for SSH. bash,
dash, sudo, rlogin and many other tools don't exist in Oberon. I
avoided discussing this deliberately. For most readers it's an
annoying digression; for some will cause mental upset.
In most Debian situations, once a user is logged in to the system, a
shell session is opened without a password. "telnet localhost" is
analogous to that. "ssh localhost" is rarely used. If sitting in a
public place, be careful that someone isn't watching when you type the
password.

I tried to make the orginal question as specific as possible.
