Dale,
At the Dachstein command prompt:
firewall#passwd
Enter new password:
Re-Enter new password:
That should take care of that...
As far as telnet goes...
If you have all telnet ports closed to the outside world and are only using
telnet through the VPN tunnel then you shouldn't pose a security risk to any
of the machines behind the firewall.
Congrats! On the first time set-up!
Steve

Subject: [Leaf-user] DachsteinCD security questions
I've just succeeded in setting up my first Linux-based VPN using
DachsteinCD. I greatly appreciate the high quality of the Dachstein package
and the (passive) help I got from browsing archives of this list.
At this point, I have two security-related questions:
1. How can I apply a password to the "root" login that takes you to lrcfg at
bootup? Without password protection, anyone with access to the console could
get into the configuration data.
2. If I use telnet to access my remote firewalls only through the VPN, do I
create a security problem? Should I use ssh for this instead of vanilla
telnet?
Thanks for your help, both future and past.
Dale Mirenda
