If you rlogin to a machine and then ksu, you are typing the password in the
clear over the network.
Unless the initial rlogin is rlogin -x, then the connection is
encrypted. Some sysmgr types around here do that as a matter of
course, so they never need to worry about passwords (but if you care
about security, you should stop every time you type your password and
think who is getting to look at it).
