    Hey, even Trinity exploited SSH in The Matrix. How hard can it be?
    It's like anything else: there is the occaisonal 'sploit, but
    misconfiguration is the real danger.

    OpenSSH??? I use this product extensively, and while there have been a few
    problems discovered, for the most part it seems very secure, do you have
    something to add to your earlier statement? By the way, you can disable
    root logins fairly easily.
