inherited? need a lot of work? then assume everything is vulnerable due to ex-employees, past trojan horses, bad administrative practices and configurations, etc. go through the FreeBSD Security Advisories at http://www.freebsd.org/security/#adv for alkl the listed advisories. make sure you pay attention to all the installed packages, ports, and user-installed third-party stuff. -Mit :-----Original Message----- :From: owner-freebsd-security@FreeBSD.ORG :[mailto:owner-freebsd-security@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Peter McGarvey :Sent: March 16, 2001 04:25 AM :To: freebsd-security :Subject: What's vunerable? : : :I've just inherited several FreeBSD boxes.
