But it *can't* make it useful to any more users. How do you get the authorized-hosts file updated? You edit it. How do you get the configuration changed to without-password from none? You edit it. Same work, no obvious advantage to without-password over no, and better obvservance of "install in the most secure way possible". Just like the discard port is disabled in inetd.conf -- same concept. -- Steve Watt KD6GGD PP-ASEL-IA ICBM: 121W 56' 57.8" / 37N 20' 14.9" Internet: steve @ Watt.COM Whois: SW32 Free time?
