Firewall security: Problems with simple Samba file share 3601

??

You know that they are stolen, therefore you know they can log in to your "safe" IPs (just use the stolen pbuttwords and PKs), and hence access your machine via the holes in its firewall. Or are you suggesting that the keys and pbuttwords that give access to the "safe" IPs are not the same as the ones that authorise access to your server via ssh?

You know that multiple pbuttwords and keys just increase the liklihood of one being exposed - everyone writes the pbuttwords on their post-its. That you are using PK authorisation tells me that you know it.

Network access to a machine which has network access to your machine is sufficient. Are you suggesting that there is no lead-in from the net?

Of WHAT? Of stealing a pbuttword from a machine that you do not have access to? No, I don't recall ANY such example. It sounds unlikely to me.

No, it's genuine - I have not, to the best of my recollection, seen anything in this thread that matches the description you just gave: that is, an example of stealing a pbuttword or keys from a machine you do not have access to.
