Out of curiosity, how much does it really matter so long as you have strong passwords? If security holes are discovered in ssh, then sure, someone who knows what they're doing might be able to gain access. But then someone qualified enough to find new holes in ssh won't be targeting my desktop box, or the http server for a small buisines. In general isn't ssh pretty secure, and aren't security fixes normally issued before the script kiddies get hold of an exploit? -- Jim
