User Security Question?
Hello Friends Just had a debate with a collegue at office, but still lack knowledge on FreeBSD security :( I have few questions. 1. What previligies a standard user (NOT member of Wheel Group) has on a FreeBSD Box? 2. How can he/she damages the systems or make a breach? 3. If that particular user is willing to damage the FreeBSD box, so which locations OR files are more likely to be damaged or affected? 4. How dangerous a Standard User could be to a FreeBSD box? 5. What sort of possible methods he/she can apply to hack the system and create a breach into the system? 6. How can we check that if a system is affected by a Bad User? I would really appreciate your comments in this regard Cheers!!! -- Thanks!

It should give at least rough answer to most of your questions. Another good reading is chapter 14 of the FreeBSD Handbook, titled Security. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH Co.

Can the denizens of this group enlighten me about what the advantages of Python are, versus Perl ? python is more likely to pass unharmed through your spelling checker than perl. -- An unknown poster and Fredrik Lundh ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
