I am aware that Windows viruses and malicious 
binaries aren't going to execute on the *Nix 
machines, but I'd still rather keep them off just 
for that silky clean feeling one gets from knowing 
they are not uninfected carriers of disease.

Or is this a non-issue. Is it simply accepted that 
*Nix machines that sleep around with Windows 
machines are going to have the nasties?

What kind (names) of ssh based systems are out 
there I could try?

I know this is not a Linux question, but would 
there be one in the BSD ports collection, by chance?
