Re: Enabling telnet, ftp, pop3 for root...

See another post. If the security vulnerability history of knockd
is not enough for you, then you're lost.

Where is the remote exploitable security vunerability. And don't go
listing a bunch of non-security related "bug fixes" from a "change
log". Not everything in a change log is there for security reasons,
not every bug fix is related to security.

Fixing a security issue is as well a bugfix and belongs to the
ChangeLog.


Maybe you should read a paragraph entirely, before replying. First,
I didn't talk about 'security attacks' anywhere here. I talked
about useless traffic. To avoid that useless traffic (caused by
those script- kiddies mentioned), I moved it.

If they are "constantly bruteforced by script kiddies searching IP
address ranges and trying trivial user/pass combinations" they are
attempting to break-in. You are moving the port to avoid the
consequences of an attack. That IS a security issue.

No, I'm moving the port to avoid the useless traffic.


Again: At least you have babbled and got attention.

And you have babbled and proven you know not what you are talking
about.

I know what I'm talking about. You just miss my points or don't
understand what I'm talking about. Why? Simple: Because in your
opinion, you are right and I am wrong.
