You know, the FreeBSD Handbook has an entire chapter (10) on Security, and section 10.3 in particular is handy reference material. Also go to google, enter "securing freebsd" and you'll find a handful of other sites with other very useful tips. Don't expect any one particular item to make your life easier. It's a combination of several things (layers) that will make life difficult for hackers. Spammers is a completely different topic. Anti-Spam tools abound but they are usually MTA specific. Adding some RBL's will help. Go to the home page of your MTA and have look around (ie. www.sendmail.org if that's what you're using) -Gerry Web & Domain Hosting // Primary & Secondary DNS Services at http://www.interpool.ca To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
