In case Richard forgot to mention it, always protect the cash-flow !!

A sacrificial lamb. First, you ssh into the lamb through an obscure port. That gets you a bash prompt. Then, depending on which machine needs access, you can ssh direct to a couple of the less critical machines, or ssh another intermediate hop to get to critical machines. That gets you a bash prompt. If you need a GUI, such as various Rivendell parts, you then have the opportunity to set those up, from a command prompt. Partially security through obscurity. Partially real security. If the lamb is compromised, not that big a deal. If you can get past it, then you're better than I am, and that could be a real problem ! -- Cowboy http://cowboy.cwf1.com "I argue very well.
