Basically, read the security howto and present what's in that. As well as
the most common ways people would use to break into a system, using ssh
rather than telnet, hosts.allow, hosts.deny. I could speak about all
this, but I am not confident, and when I am not confident I tend to
stutter and make mistakes.
The idea is to inform people how to secure their machines from illegal
entry. This would include entry over a network, entry directly from the
console, and unathorised entry of people already having accounts on the
machine (red hat pam bug etc).
Can you do this?
