We run OpenVMS on an AlphaServer at work, so I'm posting to -chat because my concerns aren't FreeBSD specific. I'm just looking for the benefit of the knowledge and experience of people who are more computer savvy than I am. The subject almost covers the question. Our system logs breakin attempts. Sometimes we get a flurry of attempts, perhaps just some sort of script that sends logins and passwords around, and I'd like to be able to respond in self-defense in some sort of productive way. How can I respond to such attempts to access the system here? Any good beginner security reading out there? Thanks. Greg
