I'm really curious how are you going to do it. There is no remote
execution magic (except of remotely exploitable bugs)...
even Windows does not containt any such magic, what makes
psexec possible is RPC.

SSH (sshd) is secure, widely supported from open source community,
fixed and patched regularly. I really could not see why to
prefer proprietary solution... which anyway adds additional
applications. Is not supported, must be maintained and also patched.
Just wait for first evil user who finds a bug, but does
not report it.
