Re: authpf - Idiot proof ssh for windows?

["Lee Smith" <lee_smith@mailhaven.com>]

I think I'm going with the simple putty 10.0.0.1 if I get ssh back up.  I
don't care if these people write there passwords down on the post-it
notes next to the public terminals.  Just as long as if somebody
complains about porn, or something, the finger can be pointed somewhere
else.  It does not really matter if he is really the one responsible.
(perhaps thats a bad attitude) but I'm just a lacky, and thats what the
boss says. Hacking is not really an issue.
