The fact is that most people don't know what [Open]SSH is capable of. They only use it as a simple telnet alternative, but they never peeked at man pages to learn about RSA/DSA keys and ssh-agent.
But these features rock. Especially to automate tasks. For instance, I use SSH to upgrade a lot of machines from a central repository. Some little scripts are just doing scp to copy files, and ssh to launch remote scripts. In 30 seconds, 100 machines are updated. And securely. Thanks to OpenSSH, RSA/DSA keys and ssh-agent.
I highly recommend this article. Good work.
