First of all, disable all the start-up services that you don't need by using setup
command. Install chkrootkit and tripwire program to detect if your machine has been
compromised or not?

Hi,
I'm a bit of a linux newbie. Out of the box, what should be the first things I
do/learn/disable to secure my box? Is there anything I could run or look out
for to indicate a hack of any kind?
I guess this
te or apt-get).

Hi,
I'm a bit of a linux newbie. Out of the box, what should be the first things I
do/learn/disable to secure my box? Is there anything I could run or look out
for to indicate a hack of any kind?
I guess this is asked a lot. If so, could anyone point me to any relevant
resources?
Thanks

I am trying to setup a user with the same type of security as root.
Basically I want this account so that you can only log in from the console
or using su. I don't want anyone to be able to log into this account
directly using a remote session. Can anyone help out with this?

Hi there
I am running RH8 with Wu-ftp daemon. I fount there is nowhere to log the
wrong logon information. So, I wonder if somebody want to guess the password
of a ftp user where I can get it?
I checked xferlog and secure logs, no info for this.
Thanks

Here's my situation:
Hosts on the internal network can access the Internet by masquerading
through the firewall - standard configuration.
The Internet can access a web server residing on the internal network,
