I got several responses, and I've thanked them all privately. Just to fill in some gaps, I run tcpd for all of my internet services, and I require an S/key password for network logins. I also run ssh. There's probably something else I'm doing, but I forget what it is at the moment. Does this seem like "enough" security to keep the pty's secure? Without secure ptys, it's not possible to log in as root from an xterm. H
