[freeside] Anyone implemented NT servers?

[Curtis Maurand]

Sure its not very cool, but it works.   And your billing system should be
behind a firewall anyway.  If youir billing system is on a public network
accessible by all, then you need to rethink security.  You can still have
public self help on another machine outside the firewall.  You can also
encrypt the information before you move it and you wouldn't be moving credit
card or billing information, just username, password and domain.

SSH looks good, too.  I need to read more about it.  I have it installed as
telnet replacement on a few machines, but I know its capable of more,
