Hi! Can anyone issue any suggestions or report experiences encrypting the network traffic in an LTSP environment? Since keypresses and everything (e.g. every password you enter on a LTSP workstation, be it ssh or not) travel the LAN in plaintext (X events), encryption is crucial for large-scale adoptions.
(To demonstrate the effects, I once created too small perl scripts, one that sniffed X magic cookies and one that iterated over the list of known cookies and used them to switch display background colors. After a few minutes I had a whole room of machines happily blinking... Very impressive). IPSec would come into mind but is very expensive (CPU cycles) and would need a powerful centralized IPSec Gateway... greets, Florian -- Florian Thiel - Medienzentrum Kassel Systembetreuung Internet- und Kommunikationstechnik Kasseler Schulen am Netz - http://www.medienzentrum-kassel.de ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SlickEdit Inc.
