I've moved my mail server from RedHat 6.0/Linux over to FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE/qmail for security (lots of relay hacking and Linux newbie hackers). Anyway, pleased to see only 10 days into running a FreeBSD installation the spam kiddies are trying to hack in again :-) hosts.allow: ALL : PARANOID : RFC931 20 : deny ftpd : a few select hosts : allow telnetd : a few select hosts : allow popa3d : ALL : allow ALL : ALL : deny qmail running off tcpserver. Hack attempts are standard trying to get in through ftp and telnet. Also a request from a root@<ip address> to the DNS port. Given that I'm a FreeBSD newbie, and notwithstanding general security tips, what should I be looking out for in these early days? Regards, Nick.
