I back up my remote servers using a customized script using rsync, so they all need and have ssh key access to root (PermitRootLogin without- password). As long as I have that set up, I figure that I might as well log in directly as root myself. I do have another layer of defense, using the iptables "recent" module, along with pam_recent to allow for repeated successful logins. I'm open to advice if this is not a good way to do it. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
