-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi folks, I'm planning to serve web pages from my personal box (family pictures and the like), running SuSE 9 stock with all patches. The machine will be handed all port 80 (or whatever port I decide to use) requests from my linksys router/ firewall, therefore being completely exposed on that port. I'll also be letting ssh through. So my question is: how dangerous is this? How secure is a SuSE 9 box (with no tweaks or anything, just configured everthing with yast). I'm asking your opinion as to whether SuSE is considered reasonably safe for what I have in mind or if I should look for other options. And perhaps if there are simple steps I can take to increase my chances of not being cracked. Just some more info: in my internal network I'm running NFS, so can't use the suse firewall (since it blocks that service). I'm also running rsync. Cheers, Adalberto -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iQIVAwUBP+Rz596AspoXaofZAQLWTRAAmvTlJMOuFYHaTl1jd0wBG783DT/EasRi +n2kvNw6h1miR1aAvkObE//+/h1Vu2SHdMTnwIJvaMfXpdYg4Id+114+uk8MhJ6F JuaRMx6WL3bjw2oh/yGUP/n8TMxrYDVKIDmm2lrFmAb35UMnqa4J9bfJyAnMt3gm fZii/bd+BRzf7aZrJG7BZeHNLBFDTLMemU+pTH3ZqjVwxNbV9uE7gfCnK05TSrdZ 7pUFCVe0zEeGglO2r9lxpjQ+Azd2Ml2CDUq7m7YXPTg5ZBYXlVX0x6HaxUkS/YT4 MvfNbSVGqRp5e2iVV7TzYasddXr7FKwSLHJ6myGxUKTwn3iMSX3Z0j8fS1tFHSRj 9KboPqjWdsrGf86CfJeUwLRL+ZtuAu3do96tooYRDbzrMkbCgKmGXfJw1dxC5QkZ ovGuLK6HumtG8FSJebSlLZRvR6ctuo/+BfcLlHfKHbwTrYx6wVpXcqA4iGMfg1Fy 2tJ85UhoEMQzUHmQ3s3EJTVoKASAdOSVB9cVQ3TpFdLCsqavKD4tiLxkMN021ExC f2V2Xq7Kd38F0FG5ZLbGzdlSnCQ3rcaX9llI7kSxXxVf1lipEdYStNJ5H1ZORx9D AvLsGNfLQa7nl5yPev+NdA6wmxHF/fTFxVWsRdhMpAIaglpWoTweOlNA3ll3ivr0 Tdv6s4wYs9I= =Y+/m -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
