Just last week, After only being up for 80 minutes, my machine was vandalized all the way from Romania, before I disabled telnetd as recommended by: ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-01:49.telnetd.v1.1.asc I am not sure how this person got in, as my logs were deleted, but I am guessing it was through the telnetd vulnerability. I had to reinstall. Other than disabling this service, are there any other holes that a box on the network may be vurnerable to? Right now I just got reinstalled, and I have been online only long enough to test my network. Afraid to get back on the network now.
