Re: [[cobalt-users] Server Hacked?]

[Mike Vanecek <Clist@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Roger your thinking - SSH just moves us up the security path a little bit
more, but it is a move it the correct direction.

Do you have a url handy for SSH?

Will installing it on a Qube2 violate any Cobalt issues with regard to
support and warranty.

Thank you for the information, this is all a bit new to me.
