Re: Enabling telnet, ftp, pop3 for root...

WTF are you talking about? Do you have any idea how public/private
keys work?

Unlike you, I can create RSA and ElGamal key pairs with pencil and
paper.

So? How does that get you MINE?

That wasn't your question.


My statement is true,

No, it is not.

because saving a key unencrypted is a security risk.

And to unencrypt your encrypted key, you use a

PASSWORD! Opps, you method is STILL protected with PASSWORDS!

True, but it's no password-based authentication. I could tell you my
passphrase, and you still wouldn't be able to login. Further I'm secure
against MITM attacks, you're not. Guessing my private key is
impractical. You don't have a place to start with. You won't get into
my system, although I'm willing to provide you with all details about
it. My system is just secure. Period.
