Is there anything special I need to do to secure a FreeBSD system, freshly installed, before putting it on the Internet (i.e., with an IP address reachable from the outside world)? Is it secure against attack as installed, or do I have to tweak some things? Right now I have only ssdh, telnetd, sendmail, and inetd running, with ftp available (anonymous is disabled). I am planning to install Apache so that I can prototype my Web site locally. The one change I've made is to allow secure login for root in ttys; if there is a way of restricting root logins to my other machine on my LAN, I'd like to know how to do that (it will never be necessary to login as root from the Net).
