How can I use my favorite newsreader on my home computer to read and post to UW newsgroups, including those that are not exernally distributed?
The solution is to have your local news client communicate with the UW news server through a secure “tunnel” created withssh. The secure “tunnel” helps eliminate many of the security risks associated with sending information over untrusted network.Thesshprogram that you need can be obtained several ways. If you are using Linux then you may already have the necessary package on your installation discs. If you are using Windows then you can either purchase the Home & Security CD from IST which contains the SSH Secure Shell program, or download a freeware such as PUTTY from the internet.
