That's why I mentioned the -X option... -Y handles the problem the correct way and doesn't have the same issues. Edit: Ignore this, I was incorrect.

I'd like to see some suggestions here, too. Amazon has shattered the idea that availability zones are truly independent. Both ELB and RDS only work within a single zone, and this latest incident occurred in "multiple availability zones", ac

ssh with X11 forwarding (-X option) had this same problem. A privileged malicious user on the host you were ssh'ed into might be able to monitor the keystrokes of your whole X session.

In the OS X GUI, the Authorization Services API handles this. The SecurityAgent process, running as a different uid (_securityagent), controls the window that the user enters her password to escalate privileges.

Looks neat. Can anyone think of a reason to prefer this over Google Authenticator (which also has nice PAM plugins)? The risk of a outage with duosecurity.com concerns me.

Libya is a glaring omission, and there's a war there. There are also countries being blocked that are not on the crypto embargo list. Regardless, a response from Microsoft would be appropriate here.

I'm surprised the EFF didn't ask Microsoft for a response on this.... If any news release by the EFF deserves a third-party response, this is it.
