There is an option to eliminate the encrypting (through ssh) of all traffic, but my understanding is that it still uses ssh for authentication.
In my case I want the same user to be able to log in locally, on a terminal, or from the internet via ssh (text mode). Password authentication would be ok for local and terminal logins, but not for internet logins. I'll probably have to adjust my router to send internet-based ssh requests to a different server, but I was hoping not to. -Rob ******************************************************** The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
