[KLUG Members] remote laptop over internet?

[Michael W. Holdeman]

No ssh is setup at this time, I'll be upgrading the server to Suse 7.2 
proffesional soon, and wish to include all that is necessary to acomplish 
this task.
I have heard that NFS exporting is VERY risky, and insecure?  even with sh??
