Hiya - since our recent unfortunate system compromise (well - a year
ago - but still far too fresh in my memory for my liking!) I've ben
increasing security across the board...
we've turned off all unnecessary services, restricted essential ones,
made sure we're up to dat with security patches, and are using SSH
instead of telnet.
Now the only really obvious security hole I'm aware of at the moment
is that we're running a POP server and I have a few people checking
their email from off-site using Eudora... to my understanding they
are sending their passwords in cleartext, which could be a security
risk...
I know that Eudora supports Kerberos and APOP authentication as well
as cleartext passwords... I was just wondering if either of these
options are more secure, and if so how would I go about setting up
our server to use these.
Our mail server is running a fairly stock standard Redhat 6.0 system
with all security patches, and SSH installed.
TIA - dan.
