Chris Johnson, What about using a ICMP or UDP client/server that will authenticate a root login from a "bad" public machine without having to execute a password via your keyboard? Just a crude idea. I'm very skeptical about logging in as root from any machine I don't feel 100% safe about. Although using one-time passwords would be a better solution, it doesn't seem like a feasible answer to me. If I could shoot a really crazy idea your way: What about using the "Character Map" program included with Windows to slowly "type" out your password? Though that would probably be cached long before you overwrite the Clipboard. Good luck. -- Richard Ward, GM Home Net Web, Inc. ----- Original Message ----- From: Chris Johnson <cjohnson@palomine.net> To: <security@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Tuesday, March 19, 2002 2:45 PM Subject: Safe SSH logins from public, untrusted Windows computers To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
