Hi all,

I use SuSE7.0 , SuSE6.4 , SuSE6.3.=20 After setting up all the servers - mail , apache , squid, firewall. How can I know my server is in secur or not?

First of all, get rid of SuSE 6.x - most (all?) of them are no longer supported (no more security updates). When installing new servers, you should a) use a stable, supported dist (IMHO SuSE 7.3 matches) b) apply any vendor patches (using YOU) c) scan the installed and configured servers (eg with nessus), re-check for unneeded services running d) test, test, test. Not in your home/office environment, but in a customer-like one (ok, not really security related, but neccessary) And in general: e) subscribe to one or more security related lists (and read the messages) f) keep an eye on security announcements, and for the SuSE ones, check the "pending vulnerabilities" section carefully

Of course, I want to test my server before launching officially.

Any help will be apreciated. Thanks you in advance

Regards,
