just a thought here...

why would anyone want to run r* stuff anymore?

ofcourse, there might be reasons... but i personally did fell in love
to ssh and (false?) secure feeling it provides...

is there something i havent realized about ssh?

ofcourse being paranoid, i consider my server "safe" from outside
attacks only when it's power down and i sit next to it with a nuke. =)
