Given that my home server got cracked by enabling password authentication
for NX, this is a valid concern
(http://www.linux.ie/lists/pipermail/ilug/2006-October/090604.html) .

Gavin mentioned how to fix this here:
http://www.linux.ie/lists/pipermail/ilug/2006-October/090605.html and
Frank Duignan mentioned how to set NX to use a second sshd for password
auth further down this thread.  That's another thing I'll be doing over
the next while...
