Plan 9 from Bell Labs

So what is Plan9's alternative to SSH? SSL seems even worse than SSH in terms of algorithms that you have to negotiate, and thanks to misconfigurations you can end up in a situation with no shared ciphers (if server accepts only RC4 and client rejects RC4 for example).

Maybe tinyssh could qualify as an alternative...

There is cpu for plan9. It's a remoteshell does does mount the local filesystem, so you can continue to work.

I don't think tinyssh is less complex, as it is compatible.

According to that mailing list message cpu uses 9P+ssl, and I consider ssl more complex than ssh. May not be the case on Plan9 as it looks like their ssl only supports old algorithms and not too many of them.
