Do you also allow your users to log into your systems via ssh or telnet with no root password? You claim the likelyhood is low - but are you sure about that? Spammers look for such things all the time. My servers and even my home network logs show multiple attempts every day by hackers. BTW - it's also why I have multiple layers of security on my home network. Jerry -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
