well, thing is, running sshd from the thin clients is insecure: you either have: 1) a shared publicly accessible sshd key on the thin-clients root filesystem (NFS or NBD). 2) you randomly generate host keys on boot of the thin client, at which point you have no way of knowing from the server that you're actually connecting to the thin client. granted, setting up a genuine man-in-the-middle attack is harder that simply sniffing the wire, but it's dangerous to call it a secure connection. have no such illusions. live well, vagrant ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
