Can't you just run a ssh command then? Optionally asking for a passwd too?

What I am concerned is someone sending an email with 
fish://$USER@localhost:/usr/bin/rm * or something like that. I don't know 
much about how security is handled, but maybe one of the big guys can comment 
on this? I remember reading once on this list that it was not a good idea to 
implement an "ssh" io-slave.. there were some valid reasons there.. By 
including remote execution into fish, you are doing exactly that I suppose.

Correct me if I am wrong :)

Sarang
