I don't believe so. My understanding is that ssh establishes a secure communication channel _before_ sending your username, let alone passwd. Then if the machine doesn't like you, it breaks the connection. Pretty safe -- provided your passwd isn't "changeme" or your dog's name. -- Lan Barnes [EMAIL PROTECTED] Linux Guy, SCM Specialist 858-354-0616 -- KPLUG-List mailing list [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
