That's still the case even if you do not use SSH port forwarding; NBD does not actually implement anything remotely resembling security at this point. I've had plans to implement username/password authentication in nbd-server and nbd-client, and there's even an implementation floating around somewhere (written by someone else), but it still needs some work and isn't finished. Additionally, I'd have to be able to get a patch into qemu-nbd.c so that it'd support that kind of authentication, too. -- <Lo-lan-do> Home is where you have to wash the dishes. -- #debian-devel, Freenode, 2004-09-22 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The NEW KODAK i700 Series Scanners deliver under ANY circumstances!
