At the risk of responding to a troll I have to say that even win 9x people
care about security when you add remote login. I'm willing to use physical
access to control security on any box I have hidden in my bedroom and off the
net. Even my non net unix boxes have no root password.
I need better security when my box is on the net whether it is UNIX, NT or Win
95.
