I want to log on to my linux box from my home .?
My queries are
How safe is telnet .some people knowing unix have advised me not to use
telnet as it is vulnerable to hacking .Though i dont have any important
doc/secrets in my pc but still is it possible that some one can tap the
passwords that i type to log in for loging in .I log on to my local isp and
telnet my pc.
Is there any safe way that can be used to log in from a remote location .I
am more concerned about the superuser password.
Some one had suggested that a normal user can be given some more rights and
basic super user functions can be performed ..I am not sure how that can
help?
Or some thing like only one user can telnet .Telnet service for everyone
else is blocked ?
I am not very sure whether i am making my self clear ... But if some one
has understood me please give me the best possible solution.
