This may be one way in curtailing bring your own device mentalities but beyond that any security system is always a compromise in one way or another. Also it is only as strong as the weakest link and if your the only user logged onto the box via ssh and others have weaker keys then you start to see the flaws.

But if everybody who logs on uses the same level of security, then it is that secure, otherwise it realy is down to the weakest link and even a home box can be taken out by a house cat who can't even use the vi editor.

How many housecats have you met that can use vi?

It's easier for them to use vi than emacs, because they don't have to use so many paws.

Clever cats press Ctrl with their tail.

anybody or animal can use vi, its the ability to do something meaningful that is the were most fall short.

Though the cat was there for grammatic effect I will admit.
