Hi
I am only using ssh. Is it possible to have rsa-keys for all users,
including vyatta?
Maybe the attackers managed to brute force my password?
This is very anoying since I have to reinstall the machine tomorrow and
doesn't know what went wrong. Haven't had time to check the logs either.

How does the user configuration look for you other guys and girls?
