Never use your password on a machine you do not fully control: Someone may have installed a hardware or software keystroke logger. Keystroke loggers are available externally and built into keyboards: http://www.keyghost.com/ >From an unsecure host, you can use a one time password to access your secure machines: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=103232 However, the paranoid must consider: 1) Anything communicated over the link may be recorded. The truly paranoid must also consider: 1) Once communication is established the accessing machine may insert commands and filter results presented to you. 2) You must ensure you really logout. Just because it looks like you logged out does not mean you were logged out. -Arthur -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
