I've heard and seen alot of security problems related to SSH (OpenSSH) and many of my friends have been playing with alot of 0day exploits for it.. Right now I'm running the latest port version of it on a non-standard port and hope to be secured with it.. I don't accualy see the reason to not use Telnet.. All I know tells me it's old and recommend me running OpenSSH instead.. What is the best solution? Ofcause peoples are able to attack me with brute-force attacks and it's not encrypted.. well, all the peoples who've shell/ssh access are trusted and I think they know what they do.. Anyone have any idea/suggestion? //Jesper aka Z3l3zT To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
