   Greetings,

   I'm not sure if this is the correct place to be asking this, as I'm
having no hardware config or install problems, but I need a bit of
advice on making Mandrake more secure.

   I have already gone through and commented out various stuff in
/etc/services, but there has to be more to be done than that... right?
What I'd ideally like to do is IP-restrict all the standard services
(ssh, ftp, postfix, mysql, among others), but I can't seem to find the
right conf files necessary to do such a thing.

   I thought I'd ask because I've started seeing suspicious IPs in
/var/log/auth.log and /var/log/secure and wanted to lock all possible
doors before whoever decides to walk through them.




Thanks,

Chris Anderson

.x%$ . ...and some junk.

I would read the Howto's security first then install portsentry and a
firewall either pmfirewall or guarddog also might want to do a fresh
install  hope this helps.......
