Hi list,
I'm looking for some opinions for a security decision. I need to
enable remote administrative access to critical systems living about
3-4 hours from me and in another country. The systems will be running
LAMP, more or less.
Which is a better idea, allowing key-only root access, or ssh'ing in
as myself and running su/sudo/whatever? Either way, I'll set up
iptables so that connection attempts from anywhere other than my
office are -j DROP'ed.
Ssh'ing to root with key-only plus a good passphrase is best.
Avoid ugly workarounds and unnecessary complexity like port
knocking and sudo.
ssh in as root, this is not the 90's anymore.
