Real Security is a looong key!
Authored by: toonerh on Feb 11, '05 04:09:42AM

I only allow shh 2.0 login's from machines I have given my 2048 bit public (actually fairly secret) DSA key, plus pass phrase and user/password. I may be a little paranoid, but most simple password ssh 1 or 2 authentications are easy prey for today's brute force attacks.

...Rest easier, that SOB about to install a rootkit on your Mac is busting his balls trying to crack by 2048 bit DSA key - I love to watch them fail :-)
