[mythtv-users] Security concerns for my myth box

[David Whyte]

Very interested to hear some knowledgable users comments on this.  

I am behind a NAT router, have a dynamix IP but will use dynDNS, and I
have port 80 blocked by ISP.  I plan to open SSH and a port for HTTP
(1010 or 1080) so I can use MythWeb when out of the house.  I will
obvisouly change my crappy root password when I get to opening the
ports..

Cheers,
Whytey
