How would anyone be able to crack your password file without logging in as 'root'? Really the only security concerns to the outside you would have would be dependant on opening http/ftp/etc... services open to the internet and running on the router itself. If this is a large concern of yours, I would suggest moving these services off the router and into a DMZ. -- ~Lynn Avants Linux Embedded Appliance Firewall Developer http://leaf.sourceforge.net http://www.guitarlynn.homelinux.org:81 ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html
