I have this machine setup to run userland ppp with the auto and nat flags so that it provides internet access for my internal lan clients (win98, win95, NT, HPUX). Since this is a dialup link (but it stays up for long periods at a time) do I have a high security risk ? With a dialup link, what security steps should be taken on a freshly installed box ? this machine only has the standard accounts, and one for me. If there is a tutorial, or specific information I would greatly appreciate a pointer. BTW, this machine only provides the above stated functionality. It does nothing else. thanks, Darryl To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
