RE: toor root
Toor is for security paranoid people? Dunno, its way to get more secure from most script kiddie-r00t-kit things. Does it btw have superuser id?

Excuse me for my bad English. toor has a different shell to root, and doesn't belong to all of the same groups that root does. Those are the only differences.

The toor user is nothing more than a backup root account, in case your root account happens to get locked out for some odd reason. The toor user does not have a password by default, and is thus a disabled account. I normally add my own root user account, which serves the same purpose but helps auditing because that username appears in logfiles instead of root or toor. The best way to protect against somebody trying to remotely hack root, other than the obvious of turning off unneeded services, is to disable remote root logins. Then to get root, you have to first login as a normal user and then su to root. Disable remote root logins in /etc/ttys by setting terminals to insecure. -- mike ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
