And my development team, so it's sorta necessary that it be secure, |
| 13 |
but a multi-user setup. We can't all log in as root 100% of the |
| 14 |
time... |

Well, I just have to find a protocol, be it ftp, sftp, fish, or |
| 27 |
whatever, and then they're on their own for finding something that |
| 28 |
works. Mainly because they choose to use Windows. It's not my |
| 29 |
problem if Windows doesn't do something. They know they can get a |
| 30 |
free SuSE, Fedora Core 6, RHELD, SLED, Gentoo, Knoppix, Kubuntu, |
| 31 |
Ubuntu, or anything else from me at any time. |
