There is also security against stupididity: Setup an old computer, older as you can, with small amount of ram and little hardrive. If possible, use something other than i386 (amiga, atari, ppc, sparc...). Put on it a minimal Linux, ssh server, and one user account. Set the hardrive readonly. Setup your router to redirect ssh port on it. If someone hack the computer and try to hack the network behind, he will be very annoying: no gcc, little amount of ram (computer will crash quickly), etc. Best if its not i386, because he can't copy a compiled program. -- à bientôt, Xavier [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
