Hello, I have been checking my logs lately and find that a lot of access attempts have been blocked. That's good. There are a ton of access attempts, mostly from asia. I am the only user on my computer, it is my home computer and I just wanted to try the whole open source phenomenon. So far, I think IP firewall is blocking all unauthorized attempts to login, but, well, I am a newcomer to freebsd/unix/internet security and want to be sure I am doing everything safely. Some of my log entries say "possible breakin attempt". That made me kind of uncomfortable too. How do I evaluate whether or not my computer is safe? Thanks Mark
