DESCRIPTION
stel(1) is intented to be a simple and practical plug and
play solution for logging into a remote system or execut-
ing commands on a remote system. stel offers a variety of
features which range from mutual authentication to file
transfer. The security of stel relies upon the underlying
cryptographic desing, not trusting the net in any way.
hostname is the name of the remote system. If no options
are provided, stel defaults to triple DES encryption, 1024
bits Diffie Hellman modulus, no protection from active
attacks, and the remote system user's shell as the command
to be executed on the remote system. This should be rea-
sonable for most systems, and it is believed to be a good
compromise between speed, ease of use and security.
