ssh makes beautifully on netbsd/mac68k. Works like a charm. On the server
I administrate (ticalc.org), we have disabled telnet and rlogin entirely
and rely on ssh exclusively. Initial login is not that slow, I find.
Something like 2-5 seconds, depending on the load on the other end. Of
course, this is from my SE/30 with no other users, YMMV. Runs as swiftly
as telnet, for the most part. Also, it can handle X redirection securely,
if you're so inclined.

A lot more convenient than kerberos, that's for sure. 

I wouldn't ever use an unencrypted connection on a university network,
where there is a greater concentration of computer pranksters than in the
regular population. Especially at CMU. :)
