Do not fall for the idea that just because sshd has something to do with encryption that it is in any way "secure" sshd has just as much potential for being hacked into as telnetd. If you don't believe me then ask SSH corporation - they just announced a vulnerability in their latest implementation of sshd. Remember - all programs are insecure. The only difference is whether or not their vulnerabilities have been discovered yet. If you really want a totally secure computer then turn it off!!!
