Greetings, I am running: FreeBSD proxy 4.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.0-RELEASE #0: Mon Mar 20 22:50:22 GMT 2000 root@monster.cdrom.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC i386 I recently noticed 'someone' knocking on my door with anonymous ftp. Then I noticed others. A total of four attempts recorded in /var/log/messages. Since none of those services are used on this computer (at least by my users) I freaked a bit. This machine provides internet access for my network. It has a 56K dialup link and is running userland ppp with the -auto and -nat flags. TIMEOUT is 300. I thought I was pretty safe, but evidently not. here's what I have done: 1. disabled inetd from starting. 2. disabled portmapper from starting. sockstats only shows syslogd listening. is this sufficient ? Also, has anyone come up with a way to prevent Outlook from keeping the link up? The users are forever forgetting to shut it down on their machines and thus the link is kept alive even when everyone's gone home. Would it be smart to have cron shutdown/restart the ppp process so its only available during business hours ? I'm still plowing through firewall rules, so I'm not ready to implement a firewall yet. thanks, Darryl To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
