Unix Account

Postby wwfwng on Sat Jan 19, 2013 2:06 pm

Any suggestions on a good, secure, (well as secure as Unix can be) preferably free unix account?

What do you mean by that? You mean a free account on a remote Unix server? Why not run your own? OpenBSD is especially secure.

Yes.

Honestly, because I hadn't considered it.

Thanks.

There won't be that many shell account services now available, partly because it is too insecure with multiple users on a single system, when you intend to allow many users..
