Speaking from experience, remote root isn't nearly good enough when doing driver development without (1) a network power supply and (2) a serial console running to a separate box. Otherwise, you're screwed when the system hardlocks or you need to adjust some settings (or, in the case of MacOS, reboot and hold down some special keys as the system comes back online). Worse, when you're dealing with networking software, you can also make a goof that screws the routing table... and whoops, no more remote access! Since (1) is expensive and (2) isn't something I think Macs support, James's requirement of physical access to the hardware makes a great deal of sense. ____________________________________________ Openvpn-users mailing list Openvpn-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openvpn-users |
