[ale] enabling remote access. . .

[scherrey at switchco.com (Benjamin Scherrey)]

I strongly recommend that you keep the normal ftp/telnet stuff locked
out and get ssh ( http://www.ssh.org ) running on your machines. I
will also automagically route your X sessions to remote sites as well
(just remember to do an "xhost +" on your client box).

	good luck & later,
