All laudable aims on a secure desktop system, but all the OM software I
have tried (I have not tried the debian port - is it any better?)
violates almost every security maxim I ever learned.  And the basic
design makes it difficult to make secure.  What you mention is really
too little too late.

I dont have much experience with dropbear, more openssh but listening on
all interfaces is fine by me in the environment I am using - its the
change in config thats caught me out.
