Concerning harden_suse: what is vc/1 ?
I'm looking at the harden_suse.log and I see the following: Disabled root login on # for devfs: Disabled root login on vc/1 Disabled root login on vc/2 Disabled root login on vc/3 Disabled root login on vc/4 Disabled root login on vc/5 Disabled root login on vc/6 What is vc? Is it the direct keyboard/monitor console? ---------------------------------------------------- Jonathan Wilson System Administrator Cedar Creek Software http://www.cedarcreeksoftware.com Central Texas IT http://www.centraltexasit.com

I expect it's 'Virtual Console'. If so, then yes, it means the direct keyboard/monitor console. -- David Smith Tel: +44 (0)1454 462380 (direct) STMicroelectronics Fax: +44 (0)1454 617910 1000 Aztec West TINA (ST only): (065) 2380 Almondsbury Home: 01454 616963 BRISTOL Mobile: 07932 642724 BS32 4SQ Work Email: Dave.Smith@st.com Home Email: David.Smith@ds-electronics.co.uk
Just guessing here, since I don't have the docs in front of me at the
moment, but "vc" would probably be Virtual Console, as in "ALT-F#"
