I have seen recently a few exploits against the linux kernel - even 2.4.18 was vulnernable. SSH is not as secure as it could be - best to limit where you can connect to it from via iptables or something like that - and of course keep it up to date. Also make sure there are no scripts on your websites that might cause problems - also seen some people with fairly intelligent scanners looking for things like that.

There was no telnet or anything like that. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
