Adam, Thanks for that analysis. I agree. And I would Add that if you need to rely on remote access to your system with ssh, it is an extra precaution to use port knocking, so that the ssh port can remain closed by your firewall until the correct sequence of "knocks" is issued. It is very simple to set up and works like a charm. Chuck -- The Moon is Waning Gibbous (98% of Full) But you can still get downloads from http://www.mhcable.com/~chuckh
