Don't forget that SSH is still uncontrollable if you're giving out
shell accounts to users. It doesn't automatically jail them into their
own directory or anything, it simply encrypts transmissions so that
passwords, etc. aren't sent in clear text.

It works just fine, if you are careful about giving out accounts.
I'd highly suggest using SSH2 rather than SSH1, it's more secure and I
think there are exploits running around for SSH1 (don't quote me on
that, though).
