I used OpenSSH for a year or so but had a lot of connection problems. Had to restart Softsqueeze several times per day. With Hamachi I can leave it on Random all day. Take a look here for encryption and security. http://www.hamachi.cc/security/ No, I have nothing to do with Hamachi. ;) -- bernt http://www.last.fm/user/ottovonkopp/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bernt's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1342 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27379 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
