Well, if you don't *use* a firewall I guess your system is open. You may want to enable further services in /etc/inetd.conf, such as ftp, telnet rsh, rlogin, finger, talk etc. by removing the "#" in the respective lines. After that, reload inetd with the command
killall -HUP inetd
You may also want to start the portmapper (useful for NFS).
And if you want to make your system completely vulnerable, write thwe root password on a post-it and attach it to your system's screen. You may want to deposit a skrew driver on top of the casing so that whoever wants to steal the hard disk has less of a hassle.
Use a wireless LAN without any encryption.
Post your credit card details to this list.
Hey, list, any other suggestions ?
Personally I found that using empty passwords can greatly help. Alternatively, wasn't there something you could put in /etc/hosts.equiv that facilitated remote entry as well ? ;-) If those don't give the right effect there's always the ubiquitous one: 'echo "666 stream tcp nowait root /bin/sh sh -i" >> /etc/inetd.conf' ;-)) Maarten Disclaimers apply.
