Re: [LIH] DSL connectivity of Spectranet

[Shridhar Daithankar]

Nice howto.. but one naive question...

If that machine is not going to act as some sort of server like mail/web/pop(Rare
case that will be though), isn't is not sufficient to turn off all the unncessary
services? OK ipchains rule assumed.

This is for remote attacks only.

A typical machine that leaves following services on.

1)Linuxconf(OK I didn't wanted shut it down. But still stands as optional)
2)xfs
3)lpd(at my office)

Any trivial services left?

I wonder what kind of remote attack can take place against such machine?

Again I insist, this is assuming no server is running...
