[geeks] How dumb is this...

[Lionel Peterson]

Here is something I never thought I'd see - a web page you can use to 
set up an SSH connection to your machine from your iPhone![0] What's 
amazing to me is how easy it would be to cache the information and 
harvest it for interesting logins...

Is it just me, or does this sort of defeat the whole purpose of SSH? 
Many people will build their own SSH/SSHD software from trusted sources, 
and it seems to me that giving your credentials to a third party to 
facilitate the connection is just plain *bad*...
