It was pointed out to me (thank you sir!) that using OpenSSH and leaving root without a password solves the problem, presuming there are no user accounts. This is, in fact, my situation. The best solution to a problem is a problem that turns out not to need solving at all. :)
If I have no non-root logins, and if I set up OpenSSH for no password authentication/ key auth only... what are the liabilities of doing without a password on root? I would presume if some exploit could crack the firewall to gain access, a root password wouldn't make any difference. Is that a false presumption? --Romaq ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
