This months DaemonNews ezine has quite a bit of information on security. 
Interesting to be sure, but I don't think that information really applies to 
my boxen. I only have client systems that I maintain.

At home my system is, well, a home system. I don't run a webpage off of it, 
and the only authorized user is myself. I have an SMC Barricade broadband 
router between it and the rest of the world. At work I have FreeBSD on a 
workstation within the company network. I have to frequently use telnet and 
rlogin to connect to other company systems which don't have ssh.

What's the best strategy for securing these machines? Currently I'm using 
standard FreeBSD settings out of the box, with nothing in not in the default 
enabled. NFS and RPC are disabled.

Thanks,

David
