Cygnus has tools that let you build SHH on WinNT. At 10:14 AM 6/4/98 -0700, Dave Siegel wrote:Nah, They never heard of virtual circuits. Seriously, PPP over IP is a way of building a cheap VPN. The thing is that SSH already does that job much better.SSH does not allow me to access file on the corporate NT server. PPTP (ala MS VPN) does.
Give me 10 minutes with a sniffer and a few nifty tools and not only can I find the PPTP session but, take control. Now, *I* have access to your file on that NiceTry Server. I have yet to see or hear about this being done with an SSH tunnel. Perhaps you would like to put a unix box on your network to do SSH tunnels with and from there, mount your SAMBA share from the NiceTry box. Or then again, maybe you trust MS. <sic> ------- John Fraizer (root) | __ _ | The System Administrator | / / (_)__ __ ____ __ | The choice mailto:root () EnterZone Net | / /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / | of a GNU http://www.EnterZone.Net/ | /____/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\ | Generation A 486 is a terrible thing to waste...
