The idea of having a ssh daemon running on windows with a tunnel into a linux
box gives me the creeps. All that basic security on linux lost, because
someone got in through windows. All you need to do is to visit the wrong web
page and somebody owns the windows machine. Won't take long then to discover
that external linux connection...

I have a few low profile boxes that gets at least one ssh hack attack every
2nd day or so. Just script kiddies, but attempts just the same.
