ok, I can confirm you're right. Anyway I believe we should just provide sensible defaults to work out-of-the- box for a basic setup - and our basic setup for ssh is dropbear. If a user wants to replace it, he has his reasons and I assume he is experierenced enough to know what he does and how to do it. We have to draw a line somwhere otherwise we are always behind trying to catch up with config requests.

Currently it's just a tunnel with aiccu, but I expect changes in 2011 as my ISP plans to deploy ipv6. kp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn how Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) One Node allows customers to consolidate database storage, standardize their database environment, and, should the need arise, upgrade to a full multi-node Oracle RAC database without downtime or disruption http://p.sf.net/sfu/oracle-sfdevnl _______________________________________________ leaf-devel mailing list leaf-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
