At least OOF server should be secure from it - best practices dictate no shared keys, and no remote root logon, so you still have to brute force the root password to do anything dangerous.

Sadly, though, many Linux users insist on using such security bypass mechanisms - much like Windows users logging on with admin rights - lulled into that false sense of security that Linux is somehow immune from security attacks....
