what do you think about not using a special gwds tool (which is a pain for 
every admin, security-wise), but a fish approach.
using ssh + perl on the other side, would give you more possibilities + you 
would have ssh-security.
(i guess this is better implemented as an io-slave (to speak kde), but i guess 
it should be possible)

what about kerberos. it comes enabled by default in freebsd 5 (at least it is 
very easy to do so) and win 2000ff  and is platform neutral. 
additionally you are able to centralize authentication, which is a Good Thing 
(tm).

just some random notes...
