Wow, smiley overkill now  :-)

ssh is secure shell.  A few days ago I wouldn't have known
either but now our computer laboratory tells us that in
the future we will no longer be allowed to use insecure
login methods like telnet or rlogin as the incidence
of snooping of plain text passwords is now unbearably
high.  ssh encrypts transmitted data.

For enlightenment have a look at
     http://www.ssh.fi/sshprotocols2/

If I am wrong and ssh is a variant of sh, ash, bash, csh,
ksh, tcsh, zsh etc. then I apologise.  Have all the ?sh
combinations been used yet?
     Sad days....
