I'm connecting from my home machine to my office machine over a VPN
connection.
The VPN already does encryption - so I don't need to encrypt. I'm
using ssh to
do X forwarding - so that make X programs on my office machine open up
on the display of my home machine. I don't want to add another layer
of encryption.
Another reason I cannot use telnet/rlogin is because telnetd/rshd are
not
configured to run on my office machine - these days many companies
follow this
practice of allowing logins only via sshd. And the ciphers supported
by
sshd in /etc/ssh/sshd_config permit the "none2" cipher (my office
machine's
sshd version is 3.6.1p2).
