For what it's worth, I have been using their ssh client for MacOS, and it works pretty well. It does not seem buggy, although the app is not as featureful as standard *telnet* clients (things like BetterTelnet or Versaterm). It even seems to work pretty well with MacX, which is very nice. Still, once BetterTelnet has ssh support, I'd probably tend to use that instead of the F-Secure (datafellows) product. Sorry about yet-another thread topic on this tangent to the FreeBSD security how-to. I think that How-To deserves more kudos than the datafellows ssh client (particularly on freebsd mailing lists!), but it just seemed appropriate to mention that I've had much better luck with their MacOS product than people have apparently had with their Windows-based product. --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.its.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or drosih@rpi.edu Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe security" in the body of the message
