you are correct in your statement that telnet sends it's passwords in the
clear. ssh has clients designed to replace 'rsh' and 'rcp'. if you could
implement your application with rsh first, ssh will work nicely as a secure
replacement. in other cases I would suggest using a different piece of
software.. perhaps kerberos.

ssh homepage: http://www.ssh.org/ or http://www.ssh.fi/
