Just keep in mind the security risk inherent in sessions unused for a long time - like if the laptop was stolen.

Worse things have happened to good people. --Bruce On 04/18/2012 04:25 PM, Joshua Judson Rosen wrote: > Chip Marshall<c...@2bithacker.net> writes: >> Thought I'd share this: http://mosh.mit.edu/ >> >> It's a remote terminal program (like SSH or telnet) but designed >> to allow for mobility.
