Sorry, my bad. I should have placed OPENssh rather than ssh since that
was what I use - the latest of course 2.9p2-1.
Also, I don't think it's worth the trouble to filter mysql.
This is just a test development system. I'm doing more to ruin the db
and setup than any cracker could. ;-D
I rebuild the db and test data from scratch sometimes as often as twice
a week.
