Why should any server which is safe to use on a home network become less safe when on any other network, public wifi or not? sshd, for example, is as impregnable in a café as it is in your kitchen. I'd have no qualms leaving every server I normally run in a listening state. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
