Hello to all: I have just ordered a new PC to install the January release of FreeBSD from CD. I was wondering how secure FreeBSD is out-of-the-box, and what additional steps I need to take in securing it. My experience has been with securing Linux and Solaris boxes - commenting out non-needed services in /etc/inetd.conf, looking for SUID and GUID programs, installing SSH, etc. What specifics are needed for FreeBSD, also considering this system will likely double as a firewall. Thanks. Scott To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
