FOLLOW UP: (ssh - are you nuts!?!)

[opentrax@email.com]

If you are reading this, DO NOT followup to the mailing list.
Unforutnately my current software does not permit the
addition of a "followup-to:" tag. I'll try to fix this
in future postings.

As suggested by many I have read some articles on SSH.
One in particular seems to be filling with in-accuracies
and bad advise. 
That article is at:

http://www.devshed.com/Server_Side/Administration/SSH/

In a minute, I'll point out the problems. But first
for those of you that have read the article, or those
of you about to read it. My questions is:
Would you support this article as being technically
accurate or informationally correct?

So, as many people have asked me -- please point out 
objections to SSH. At this point, I will point to this
article and ask for opinions.

Here are my objects to this article:

In section SSH:
    "SSH always encrypts data tranmissions and thus secures
    sensitive information from falling into the hand of
    others."

>From my perspective, this is technically incorrect. 
While SSH can hide the information from the "hands of
others", there is nothing I have found that points to
any way to prevent "others" from capturing data.
Capturing data is a side-effect of an open network.
Further since SSH runs on top of TCP, a "sniffer"
can at least see the data going from A to B.
So in review, this type of statement is from truthful
and useful, since it portrays a falsehood as truth.

I will note that I have marked six (6) other problems
with this article. So, please follow-up only to me.
Lastly, I will NOT maker further posting to these mailing
lists, unless other damming evidence of this matter
is available. Time is running short and I have only
15 review days before my talk. :-)
