Depends on how good your control of access to the server is. In my case for example, I control physical access to the machine. That could be, and has been a problem when I was away and power went out, to get things back up, so I got rid of the passphrase. Now, as long as the fsck-s clear at boot time, the server makes it all the way back up without intervention. But, if you have a lot of people running around, even if ignorant, then you might want to think again about eliminating it. It is less likely to be a concern for remote access, but could come up, especially if someone gets root to your server. Of course, then all bets are off anyway. ////jerry > > TIA > _______________________________________________ > [email protected] mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
