Once again, thanks for the advice. Firstly, I don't think talking to the principal would be too hard, barring the following obstacles: 1. I'm too busy. I was just out sick for two weeks (during which I set up my SSH server). 2. She's too busy. 3. She has no great understanding of computers or networks beyond what is needed to do her job.
I acknoledge your concern about criticizing the tech, which I don't think I have done. I am merely pointing out that, since we used Knoppix, he's paranoid about anything he doesn't understand (especially if it involves the word "Linux"). Other than that, he is good at his job. I also agree that he has to be paranoid to some degree when dealing with Jr. high kids. He claims that he will test PuTTY at some point. I asked him early this morning, and, although I've seen him several times during the day, he has done nothing (except bust me for using it). My concern about the test is his lack of understanding of SSH itself. I wouldn't bet that he knows how to use a Linux command line (which could work to my advantage or not). I will say that, if the test comes to pass, I need to steer him away from these areas: No firewall on browser IRC client I don't think the browser will be a big issue if it comes up, because it is only text-mode. The IRC client is a different matter, but he would have to know what he was doing to find it. I, unlike some other immature people, would not abuse these programs. I guess I'll see what tomorrow brings in the way of SSH approval.
