Not only that, but ldm wants to use the ssh on port 22. So you have to enable passport authentication on port 22 which means that you probably don't want to open up port 22 on your firewall. In my opinion, it would be better if ldm could be configured to use an ssh on a non-default port (say 1022) and then the default ssh port could require public key authentication. This would be a little easier than messing with special port forwarding rules. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
