Everyone,
Just an update:
~ 1) I've noticed some traffic on the net recently trying to access
port 111 (I have it blocked on my server). Those that don't know should
really think about blocking this port from the outside using iptables.
Be sure not to block your lo interface for this port.
~ 2) I've also made it so root can not login via ssh. This was to
circumvent some of the problems with the recent sshd attacks. To block
or not allow root to login, change the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file and add
a line that has 'DenyUsers root'
~ This change does not block the attempt; but, it does block root from
loging in. You can still login as a normal user and do an 'su -' to get
root.
Just a Kink Heads up,
James Kosin
