I'm sure that he meant "do not forget ssh" in fact, since CavesOfTQLT asked about security, let me put on my security hat. <security> Turn off telnet port 23. Do not use it, because passwords and everything else is transmitted in the clear. Turn on SSH as a service (using MCC), more specifically turn on the ssh daemon. use SSH. This means telling shorewall to close 23 for all traffic and open 22 for tcp/ip. Use real passwords, make backups, etc. </security> -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
