Hi All! The discussion for SSH is ... Oh Boy!!! :-> Thank you guys from _core_ for your opinion! I think it is the right! I am nobody to 'think' 'bout that, but... anyway... It is NOT good all UNIX OS-es to depend on just one [OpenSSH] 'team'!!! The SSH is is pretty much on every server in the NET, this team have 'The Power' ... to rules... in case like this. ;-/ And I do not think this is gonna be the latest ssh 'bug', because it is very attractive target (together with Apache) I would rather get back to the good old telnet, than waiting for someone to log in - even with non-privileged user (as Theo said even with privsep). Which is the worst - clear text pass going around Internet with milions of POP3 clear text passwords or "c'mon in...? Please, do not missunderstand me, I would like to use SSH instead of telnet, but... I am FreeBSD user and I trust in FreeBSD core team, not somebody else... until the 'patch' is released *when the moon is in capricorn* telnet may not be such a bad idea ;-) --Miro To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
