--SNIP--
I have installed all the pkg updates on the cobalt site and disabled telnet in favour of SSH from pkgmaster. Now what - some sort of trip wire / file check summer type thing and a firewall (IPchains) - while I am not *totally* clueless I could do with some pointers to how-to docs for this sort of stuff or even a few practical tips would be great. regards john sweet
--SNIP-- Hi John,I just recently got up to speed with IPchains. I used a real handy utility called pmfirewall that set it up really nicely for me. Be forewarned, however, that it did catch my firewall spoofing a lot. You'll need to understand how to deal with that. As for servers out on the wide-open Internet, I was quite pleased with the overall settings and ease of installation.
Cheers, Glenn
