Hi Anthony! On 2 Nov 01 at 7:03 you wrote: > Right now I have only ssdh, telnetd, sendmail, and inetd running, with ftp > available (anonymous is disabled).

If I were you, I'd first disable telnetd - especially if sshd is already running - by commenting out the relevant line in /etc/inetd.conf and doing 'killall -HUP inetd'. If you're not interested in anonymous ftp, you might also consider removing ftpd and using scp instead to transfer files to/from your box. This should again be easy, since you already have sshd running. A good idea is to run 'sockstat' and see what ports are open. There might be something running (such as portmapper) that you are not even aware of and that you really don't need. Anything you don't need should be turned off ;-) -- Toomas Aas | toomas.aas@raad.tartu.ee | http://www.raad.tartu.ee/~toomas/ * I`m not as think as you drunk I am...
