RE: [cobalt-users] Deterring Hackers

["Tech " <tech@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've installed both tonight, one, a Cobalt RaQ4r, and the other is my home lab box, running FreeBSD 4.1.

It's a beginner level install and config, also very much well worth it.
It's thwarted 3 port scans on my Cobalt already tonight and logcheck mailed me the results.
