I agree, but it could give a false sense of security to a novice.

What if they set up `spiped` and password authentication?

Also, once they get to `spiped` they are on your system. If there is a whole to run arbitrary commands from `spiped`, you're stuffed.

Oh, duh, of course. Forget what I said before. Unless you're running spiped in a separate VM or jail.
