Re: Openssh + security

Well, I'm running X. I'm a home user and the "server" it's also my PC so I have to use it. I'm also running xscreensaver and aMule (this one all the time). Maybe this is bad!!! On 12/14/05, Markus Gaugusch wrote:

Well I have a problem... After reconfigured my ssh server based on all your suggestions I've opened my firewall port so I can connect from anywhere in the Internet (this was last night).

Today my CPU was around 90% and above and the program that's consuming that it's X owned by root!!!

Please check if you are running X windows and if there is a screensaver active! Don't run X on servers!!
