7.15.1. Security measures on login, passwords, etc.
- Avoid entering passwords over the Net (such as in rlogins
or telnets). If someone or some agent asks for your
password, be paranoid.
- Can use encrypted telnet, or something like Kerberos, to
avoid sending passwords in the clear between machines. Lots
of approaches, almost none of them commonly used (at least
I never see them).
