In that case, the main worries would be that they could find an exploit
in a webserver that doesn't require a logon (abusing guestbook scripts,
and the like), or just abusing mail forms to send spam through your
service to someone else.  I get a few script kiddies rattling the
windows on my website, but they only get 404s.  I don't have the scripts
that they're looking for to exploit.

I don't have remote shell access, I haven't thought of a reason that I'd
really want it.  One day I might set things so I can access my mail
servers remotely, but not before I've figured out how to do it securely
(i.e. encrypted access only).
