Well, that's true, but if you have the choice, there are better choices. You *can* hammer in nails with the butt of a gun, but there's a chance you'll somehow shoot yourself in the arm. A hammer doesn't have that risk. There have been *many* problems over the years with rsh and telnet. rsh's security model comes from a time when people thought computers would never lie to each other. SSH does allow you to give only enough access, with the side-benefits (in your case) of compression and encryption. Even if you used ssh without those, the key-based authentication is still safer, and the code more modern and securely designed. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Well, no offense ment, but there are many people posting questions to this list, and some of them aren't aware of potential security problems of actions they want to perform. So generally if a question with a potential harmfull consequence is asked people are told of these fact, because noone here on this list can guess if it is known, or not. Wouldn't it have been easier for you to tell people on this list that you are aware of the problems? I mean, instead of getting rude? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
