I hope you understand what I mean, nothing is safe, but it's safe
enough to use unsecure tools.

Yes, we copy data around. But everybody working here has access to all
data on our network. Company policy, we do not have any secrets. You
can do personal stuff on our network, why not. But if you have any data
which is not meant for others, do it at home, but not at work. Very
simple.

And there's no point using secure software in this case.

I know people are trying to be helpful, I want to thank them for that.
But they are helping not in a way I (and others maybe) want. We know
now that the rsh-tools are not secure, we know too that we want to
install the rsh-tools, even with all warnings.

So, I will try it once again. How do I get the rsh-tools installed,
without that it's linked to the slogin, ssh etc.? Please provide me the
information I need for doing this, and please stop trying to convince me
to use the secure tools.
