Hi,

As part of my Tcl-Toys package
(http://www.roaringpenguin.com/tcl-toys/), I made a tiny little GUI
called "ssh-helper" for launching SSH sessions.  If you administer a
lot of remote machines via SSH, it's quite handy.  It reads your
~/.ssh/config file and makes a menu entry for each Host line it finds.
Just click on the host name to open an SSH session.  The nice thing is
that it picks a different color for each xterm, depending on the host
name, so you have a visual cue that helps you figure out which
terminal is for which host.

Requires Tcl/Tk 8.3 or higher.

Regards,

David.
