Look into ssh.

You can run the ssh client directly it using system [vlad does this], or 
you can use the Net::SSH gem [capistrano does this]

Of course, you need a working ssh daemon on system2. With Unix/Linux 
you'll have this out of the box. For Windows look at installing cygwin.

ssh is well tested and secure.

Less secure alternative: write your script sample.rb on system 2 such 
that it waits for a connection on a TCP socket and then does its stuff. 
The class GServer in the standard library may help you, or read up on 
DRb.
