	You may not be the right person to ask about this,
	but has any explanation been given as to why there
	is no SSH daemon running on the PILOT machines at
	MSU?  I've e-mailed CAI about it twice since the
	beginning of the semester, but I've received no
	response.  Currently there is no way that I am
	aware of to retrieve mail from the PILOT servers
	without sending uid/pwd in plaintext (IMAP/SSL
	 being the other way that would work).  If any-
	body knows about this or can point me in the right
	direction it would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks,
