Yes, but it's nice to have it, just as a backup when upgrading ssh, for example. If you worry about the passwords, change it before you kill ssh, and change it back after you upgrade. It's much easier and faster than going to the ISP and fixing the problem locally if SSH will fail, isn't it? > > Regards, > > Shlomi Fish Sagi ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives available at http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
