Yes, you're missing something. We're talking about two isolated servers on a network assumed to be hostile. My having administrative rights on the first server has nothing to do with the security of the second server. > So I could have a VPS box inside (for example, TJ Maxx's > network) and the theory is there would be no impact or > security concerns for either party? Maybe I'm missing > something your saying here, but that doesn't seem right. That's a bad analogy. If TJ Maxx provided a hosting service, and we were both customers, their granting me administrative access on my server would have no effect on the security of your server. You are aware that hosting companies provide administrative access to dedicated servers all the time, right? In your opinion, is this a bad thing?
