Agreed, I missed some important comments from Nick. It is just that I do not like the way he answered to my post and stop reading. As I said, I am not an expert on computer security at all, and I certainly do not want to be one. My research field is a different one. I just observed what seems to me a bad default setting in ssh. Obviously, I was not aware that most developers are against this change and missed the thread from march 2005. Nick is certainly right. > > Honestly, you have a wicked meaning for the word "friendly". > > Nick is definitely very friendly. Please follow this list some time > and you will agree with me. I certainly will do. This mailing list is an excellent reference for OpenBSD users. By the way, on an unrelated matter... now that I write about good references for OpenBSD users... when are updated the FAQs (in both text and PDF)? I see the FAQ for OpenBSD 4.0 available on-line, but I would like to get the text version of the FAQ for 4.0... the only one I found on the ~/pub/OpenBSD/doc directory of the anonymous FTP server (or as a link from the on-line FAQ) is for 3.9. Is there an estimated time for the text and PDF versions to be upgraded? I understand that both the OpenBSD and pf FAQs will probably have some changes in the next months... I am just awaiting for the updates to be publicly available. I really think that the text version of these FAQs are very handly, Igor.
