The difference is that if someone compromises/brute-forces one of my ssh keys, he has something of value. OTOH, if he can find my host and send some packets to it, since I've done all the host OS/app/service BCPs, plus I'm enforcing policy via stateless ACLs in hardware-based routers/switches and tcpwrappers on my host, so what? I could care less. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Roland Dobbins <rdobb...@arbor.net> // <http://www.arbornetworks.com> Most software today is very much like an Egyptian pyramid, with millions of bricks piled on top of each other, with no structural integrity, but just done by brute force and thousands of slaves. -- Alan Kay
