Brad,
We can agree that the 40 bit stuff is not worth the trouble. My 128
bit Lucent card says "128-bit RC-4 encryption". Last I heard, RC-4 was
not considered a "safe" algorithm.
Also, in any multi-user environment, the secret must be too public. (I
believe that when I know something, it's secure. When I tell someone,
it's secret. When someone else is told, it's public.)
Using an encrypted link is fine, but I worry that people will believe
far too much in its security. (Especially when they see "128-bit".)
If I'm wrong and it is 3DES, never mind! But still use ssh whenever
possible.
