    Yes, there's always the option of teaching folks to look for alternative
    solutions instead of banging their head against the wall... instead of
    "tar cf file directories; scp file.tar remotehost:" they could just
    "tar cf - directories | ssh remotehost tar xf -", but you know how
    difficult it is to get folks to change their ways of doing things.
