I have aide and sxid installed. I also ran bastille to give me some ideas on tightening things up. I created a gcc group for compilation (I've had a box owned in the past by allowing all users access to compiles). I've probably done some stuff I can't remember, too. I strongly recomend Hacking Linux Exposed, a book whose website is at http://www.hackinglinuxexposed.com (Heh, my company just blocked the site because the url contains the word "hacking" ... how's that for funny?) The book really helps you think about security. It gives no pat answers, but it definitely shows how devious you can be if you're seriously paranoid about intrusion. As others have said, security is all about how much time you want to spend locking down your machine. You could spend your whole life locking things down and still miss something. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't do as much as you can with the amount of time you *can* spend on it. -- monique -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
