Ahbaid,
This could turn out to be a really long email so I think I'll point you to
one of my favorite books: Maximum Linux Security by SAMS. I think I picked
this big black book up at Borders or Amazon for like 40 bucks. I have
learned a great bit by reading through this book and it's written in a
fashion that keeps your attention. As far as ssh goes I preach this like the
bible... YES INSTALL IT, and remove the evil telnet sinner from your system!
I also install port sentry and log checker which are programs discussed in
the Maximum Linux Security book. All in all good schtuff. :)
Good luck,

What's a good place to start learning about how tos ecure a linux box?
For starters I'd like to allow / dis-allow access to services such as
ftp, telnet etc. from certain machines only.
Also, does ssh address these issues?
Any good pointers on this?
Thanks,
Ahbaid.
