Didn't I already answer this <smile> in a reply to the other Jeffrey who 
said SSH was weak?

The only way to keep your computer perfectly secure is to never connect it 
to a serial or parallel port, to ethernet (or any other network) or a 
modem, or a keyboard, mouse, or monitor.

Of course then you have problems using it <smile>.

SSH is a wonderful tradeoff.  It's quite secure.  It's much more secure 
than the Cobalt web-based gui interface, which sends passwords and other 
sensitive information over the Internet unencrypted, in plain text.
