I couldn't live without sshd, since every machine I've ever installed is completely headless. However if I couldn't have sshd, I'd be just as happy to tweak the kernel and hook up a serial cable to be a console from another machine with has a terminal client and/or old wyse terminal :) -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
