1. If you dont need sshd, don't run it 2. Otherwise, use either hosts.allow (ssh is compiled with tcpwrappers, generally) or iptables to restrict access to sshd to known and trusted IPs. 3. If you are anyway running a secure sshd, and an IDS like snort, forget it. Portscans are a dime a dozen, most of them poking around for stuff like old sendmails, sunrpc, ftp etc. -srs -- Suresh Ramasubramanian <----> mallet <at> efn dot org EMail Sturmbannfuhrer, Lower Middle Class Unix Sysadmin [Linux One Stanza Tip] From : <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> LOST #155 -**< Sub : Line numbering your programs (#5) >**- Want a listing of your program with line numbers ? vi clones on Linux can do it directly !!! In command mode of vim/ elvis or nvi, type: ':set number' (or, ':se nu')... and to turn off numbering during edit ':set nonumber' (or, ':se nonu'). _______________________________________________________________ Have big pipes?
