I just installed 4.4 stable. I turned off pretty much everything except for ftp(users only, no anon) and ssh. I am a little familiar with redhat and remember editing my hosts.deny file so that it locked out everyone except for my home and work machines. I think that I need to edit the /etc/rc.firewall file. Is this a good idea to deny everyone except for a few users and how would I do that? I'm running 4.4 stable. Is that good enough or should I get the 4.5 release? Do I need to upgrade/update any files or do anything else to secure the machine? If so, could you send me a good link or give me some help please? Thankyou in advance, Jason uin 1401272 _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
