[GLUG-chat] Re: Remote commands SSH

["Chris Hughes" <chris.hughes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey,

It works really well and the only security risk is if your web server is
compromised, the attacker has access to the other machines. I used a similar
concept with a front end that I wrote for a distributed snort environment.
Works really nicely and is a lot quicker than writing apps that handle
secure TCP streams.

Regards,
Chris
