I heard some whistling that LTSP 4.1 (to be expected in the near future, end of the month or so) will be supporting X over SSH tunnels (which is no too hard thing, usually, for applications - I'm just still wondering how that will work with login managers like kdm). However, having SSH security will push things much forward in terms of security. For a wireless setup, there is anyway data local to the client (namely WEP information), so there should only be very few tweaking necessary to also store ssh keys there, so additional SSH client device identification/authentication could take place. I'm really interested in what will go on on that topic and I'm positive that jammcq will once again give us some great improvements. For my personal network, I have an access point on which I turned SSID broadcasts off. That will at least keep script kiddies in the neighbourhood away from force-breaking my WLAN WEP string :-) I heard experts telling users to change WEP key stuff at least every month, this should furher decrease risk, but I'm much too lazy for that. The people who know that the backdoor lock is broken could come into our house network as well ;-) > For instance, is it possible to use CISCO LEAP with LTSP? Sorry, I have no idea what *that* is.
