ssh -c 'none' should allow you to login to a machine while providing secure
authentication (it is intended as a secure replacement for rlogin and rsh).
With the 'none' option, it does not encrypt the data stream. Make sure
you configure things properly - it appears that passwords are still sent
in the clear (so you will want to use an rhosts file to avoid the need for
passwords).
