We use it to allow users access to the HPC from Windows machines. The alternative, cygwin, takes quite a bit of installation and configuration so shellinabox is a lightweight alternative. We're still on CentOS 5, so not a lot of use to the OP however.
cygwin?? if you need a ssh client on Windows, use putty. if you need an x-terminal, use Xming. both are ligthweight, small, and very easy to configure, including via scripting and automatic push installs.
If ssh is allowed through the firewall, you can run freenx on the server and the cross-platform NX clients from www.nomachine.com to run full X desktops with good remote performance and the ability to reconnect to running sessions.
