Re:Lesser of 2 evils in absence of ssh

[David Smith]

Hello,

Without ssh, is it better to
connect from a PC veiwer to
a solaris server over the
internet, or the following:
start the solaris server
with -localhost, telnet into
the sun box and use vncconnect
to make the server connect to
your remote PC viewer.

I would say the first is more secure. Regularly changing your password would also be a good idea since the VNC password chat is not exceptionally strong, but it is much better than passing your login and password in the clear.

Luck.
