With or without patch access, I'd personally still be a bit reluctant
to.  Well, I did it for quite some time; especially with my plans, at
the time, for a remote access cluster setup.  (See what I once had
running here... /at home/, a portion of it for that matter, just so
you know: <http://winnili.net>.)

Back then, I noticed tons of break-in attempts and it never really
felt too comfortable.  I did eventually, as a first step, assign the
remote SSH port to something other than 22 (as a start).  That solved
part of the problem, but it never felt too great.

Until HP insources things again, or somehow makes an effort to
convince me otherwise of their intentions with VMS, I'm not going
to be using it for anything other than an emulated development
platform.  It certainly is easier on the ears, not having rx2620's
blaring in the background and doing a better overall job than the
central heating system...

(By the way, Windoof, is that a common pun there?)
