Huh; wonder why. Here at home, SSH is about the only way to talk to any of the UNIX machines (which is all I use); my wife has a couple of M$ machines where she has PuTTY & WinSCP installed.
I agree. I have been using SSH for a long time. No worries. But what do I tell my mother who has to call me on the phone to ask how to turn on her Macintosh ... every single time. SSH is *not* for her. It needs to be automatic. All this stuff needs to be self configuring if possible. Heck, that is how I got started doing PPP.
My short-term solution is a Nomadix HSG. It knows how to spoof SMTP and rewrite the addresses so that no matter what SMTP server the client thinks it is talking to, it gets redirected to my SMTP server. (Kind of like a reverse NAT.) This is very easy for the user. While this is well and good for clients with misconfigured IP and DNS configuration the SMTP spoofing scares me because it is effectively an open relay for people using my hotspot. I am not sure how long I can keep doing this before some spammer discovers it. Frankly, the AAA WG in the IETF has totally dropped the ball.
