[Xitami] Newbie--how to best secure Xitami?

[Gunnar Swan]

User Name and Passwords will be send unencrypted, unless you are willing to buy a SSL certificate.
Xitami on it's own should be secure with the previous exception.
But ... Win9x is not secure. Therefore, I would suggest Linux or NT.
NT out of the box is wide open. Permissions must be set on NT to secure it.
Firewall : Try www.TinySoftware.Com. Works great.
