Hi @ all I' ve got a little question concerning the strip program. My server is not really fast and has very little RAM so I would like to strip some or all binaries. I tested it with ntop so far and it is working quite well as you can see. user@server /test# ll ntop ntop.orig -rwx------- 1 user nobody 18368 May 20 02:29 ntop <-- stripped -rwx------- 1 user nobody 140571 May 20 02:07 ntop.orig user@server /test# I would also like to do this with sshd and some other services my system provides. So now my question is: Does this (stripping a binary) affect security in any way? I think of bufferoverflows etc. Some important information may be lost if I have only 1/10 size. Right or wrong? Thanks for your time and opinion ;-) D. Lord PS.: What does this mailinglist check to verify the email? I can't use my own postfix server even if I specify the right From: adress in mutt. And it's really annoying to go to gmx just to post something to this list! Any hint? -- -- Life is too short to find the easiest way through. Just go straight forward!
