[This isn't strictly Debian related] Recently I've been reading security horror stories, and things that can be done to avoid the problem.
Among the more vanilla problems is the /etc/issue file - specifically, the advertisement of what OS is running on the target machine. I'd like to get things set up so that it's not immediately clear whether one of our servers is running Linux, BSDi, Solaris, etc. I've run into a problem with my Debian boxes that have ssltelnet installed. These like to print a banner telling you that a key is being generated, etc. So ... is there an obvious way of disabling these messages? More to the point, is ssltelnet even worth it, as opposed to ssh? I like the idea, but I've got the feeling I may be beating my head against the wall here. Ideas, pointers, comments welcome. -- Nathan Norman MidcoNet - 410 South Phillips Avenue - Sioux Falls, SD 57104 phone: (605) 334-4454 fax: (605) 335-1173 mailto://[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.midco.net PGP Key ID: 0xA33B86E9 - Public key available at keyservers PGP Key fingerprint: CE03 10AF 3281 1858 9D32 C2AB 936D C472 -- E-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST.
