Thanks for the info. Making it confusing is kindof the point, as I'll end up being using it 99% of the time, and one or two other people the rest.

This brings up an interesting thought. Is it a very bad Idea to have SSH open to the internet? I would set the password lockout limit to 3 tries, but I guess that adds the possibility of a vulnerability. But then again, how long has it been since a serious vulnerability has been found in Open SSH? And I don't use ftp, I usually use SCP.

This is something I should know more about...securing webservers
