Stupid SSH Tricks
Conclusions
ssh is being widely deployed in many
places (especially academia) in response to a rash of break-ins and
password sniffing incidents.
- It can allow a near-"single-sign-on" mode of access.
- Tunneling feature (X11, others) can be very useful; X11 convenience
may persuade reluctant users to use it.
- Automated tasks formerly done with
rsh
and rcp can still be done with
dedicated keys and appropriate programs.
- It's not a panacea; a good security policy,
firewalls, and more are required elements of any effort to improve
network security.
