so who owns this box me or the neighbor? honestly this is utterly ridiculous. access.conf refuses to work. md5 refuses to work. this box cannot be secured to current standards without a ton and a half of headcaches.
If by current standards you mean Red Hat then you're perfectly right. God forbid SuSE should ever get something like Lion Apart from that you may concider joining security forums such as suse-security@suse.com (to join, send a mail to suse-security-subscribe@suse.com)
it's no wonder my firewall been taking a pounding all day, since I joined this list yesterday I have the most unbelievable number of hits on target ports.
Which ports would those be? I'm online 24/7 and the biggest number of hits are on 1433 (MS SQL Server). A little on 137 (MS Net BIOS). I see very little unix-specific activity.
the suse ain't online guys. it probably never will be.
