Running it on a triple booting Lombard 333MHz (OS 9, OSX, Suse 7.0).
I've read up alot of Red Hat/ PC based security how toos but still
having problems figuring out if I've actually nailed down the holes.
There is just enough difference in where specific config files are
loacted to get a newbie like me lost.
My security goals
1. Removal of all server/remote access related functions. Its strictly a
portable workstation.I want to lock down ftp access to be done only be
sitting at the machine.
2. The only exceptions are of course email, web access and SSH. (SSH
will only be used to access other machines FROM the lap top. It should
not accept any SSH remote connections
3. Set up a firewall (Thinking of starting with PMfirewall). Got gobs of
info on this.
I'm also looking for a site like www.grc.com that does portscans etc..
of linux systems and gives a security profile. (grc.com described my
machines as ultra secure with a non sured installed which makes me thing
that it works only for windows machines.
Right not all I'm looking for is suse ppc spesific tips on securing the
machines aka
what config files should I use to remove service I don't want and where
they are located.
thanx
