Did I understand correctly, that anyone can connect to the shell server
and create an account for themselves?

I have a somewhat rudimentry hardening guide for FreeBSD at
http://www.syslog.org/Content-5-4.phtml
I've tried to keep it up-to-date, but I have yet to incorporate MAC, which
I think will help out a good bit more.

I hope you find this a useful.
