It's worth to note that `remsh' should be used with extra care, especially
when it comes to connecting live production systems.
Time by time, it happens (at least to me) that someone accidentally
issues `q().' instead of ^G-q. The result is remote node shutdown what
is usually not what we wanted to do, although `q().' is good habit 
otherwise :)

That's why I would recommend you to use extra VM options to restrict
the shell and block at least `q()' and friends (well, I've never seen
anybody who accidentally typed `init:stop()' yet :-) ).

In production, we do it like this: `+Bi -stdlib restricted_shell 
shell_restriction_policy_mod'
