Configure the ones that you do need so that they only respond to the places that you want them to. If you only need to ssh between two boxes next to other, then configure the ssh server, and your firewall, to only allow that. If you have two PCs, it is useful to have ssh running. You can use one box to control the other during problem solving. -- (This box runs FC5, my others run FC4 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
