http://www.networksimplicity.com/openssh/ <-- here is a simple solution. I
use on all my windows servers. Console Support sux, but to reload my dns
(on windows system but this will work on Unix too) I have a batchfile called
reload_ns1.bat like so:
@echo off
ssh superfreak AT ns1 DOT domain DOT com reload-dns.bat
And so that bat would log in, execute reload-dns.bat and exit. If you just
want to get ssh on windows as a client get:
http://www.networksimplicity.com/openssh/ and install just the client.

> 3) Is there documentation for it (e.g., how to set up a .shosts file for

> 4) Would this sshd do what I'm suggesting they do?
