Just remembered that you may also use rlogin, and some people may shoot me in the head for mentioning this. rlogin is obsolete and poses a great security risk! However I've seen rlogin being used in quite a few places (for e.g. DB2 parallel installations use rlogin to execute commands).

    ssh can do everything rlogin can, but it's safer. One should stay away from rlogin unless commanded otherwise, and even then only after a fight.
