I only have a simple dial-out PPP connection from my ISP. I'm still on a Bo system with shadow password enable. Two days ago I see this message from my xconsole:
Aug 20 10:19:56 ordino in.telnetd[349]: connect from ppp-014.m4-1.mtl.ican.net Aug 20 10:20:01 ordino telnetd[349]: ttloop: peer died: Success I understand the first line; somebody requested a telnet session from my system. The second one I'm not sure...who cut the connection, the other side or my system? To this date I did not really care about security, I'm the only user and I'm on line for short periods, but now I'm getting a little panicked...is Bo security ok or should/can I do more? Do I have to deny requests for telnet and ftp sessions or is on by default? Paranoid. -- .~.
