[plug] Secure login using your web browser

After all this talk on truble logging in to Linux machines, I started
wondering where MindTerm is a known product on this list.

It is Secure Shell (ssh) implemented in Java, allowing everyone with a
Java enabled web-browser to log into the web server (only the
webserver because of Java security policies).

When set up, it allows all users to log in without sending the
password in cleartext (as rlogin and telnet does).

That way, users on the move can use any modern computer to log without
the need to install ssh locally on every machine they want to use.

It even support ssh-tunneling and scp. :-)

The code is GPL and available from
