At the risk of responding to a troll I have to say that even win 9x people care about security when you add remote login. I'm willing to use physical access to control security on any box I have hidden in my bedroom and off the net. Even my non net unix boxes have no root password. I need better security when my box is on the net whether it is UNIX, NT or Win 95. - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
