[SunHELP] Automating a telnet session.

[Thomas Cameron]

Lance -

I strongly caution against using telnet.  It is highly insecure - it
sends plain text passwords over the network.

Use ssh instead.  You can easily set ssh up to "auto-login."  Check the
man pages for ssh-keygen and ssh-agent.  Go to www.openssh.org and check
it out.

Regards,
Thomas
