This means that you are NOT automatically protected from all security hazards by using SuSEfirewall2. To minimize security risks on a networked system obey the following rules: ● Run only those services you actually need. Think twice before opening them to the internet. ● Use only software which has been designed with security in mind (like postfix, vsftpd, OpenSSH). ● Do not expose services that are designed for use in a LAN to the internet (like e.g. samba, NFS, cups). ● Do not run untrusted software. (philosophical question, can you trust SUSE or any other software distributor?) ● Run YaST Online Update on a regular basis or enable it's automatic mode to get the latest security fixes. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
