Submission + - Lax SSH key management a big problem

cstacy writes: Tatu Yionen, inventor of SSH, says he feels "a moral responsibility" to come out of retirement and warn that a "little-noticed problem" could jeopardize the security of much of the world's confidential data. He is referring to the management (or lack thereof) of SSH keys (i.e. "authorized_keys") files. He suggests that most organizations simply allow the SSH key files to be created, copied, accumulated, and abandoned, all over their network, making easy pickings for intruders to gain access.

Do you think this is a widespread problem?
How does your company manage SSH keys?

Yep, some tools just suck, until you find that it really is better to have the right tool than using your hammer for everything. In the web world, wordpress is like the first php script you wrote and told all your friends (from your basement), "Hey I connected to a mysql database." Joomla is your first attempt at making it better. Drupal is when you finally get smart, it is the toolbox you always open when you want to get work done.

Now that the Drupal core is going to incorporate a lot of the Symfony2 framework in version 8 it is going to rock even more. This is another reason I like Drupal, they aren't afraid to shake things up rather than just piling shit on top of shit (wordpress/joomla).
