As time goes on, my general lassez-faire attitude toward system security in the home is gradually changing. In the face of 24/7 net connections, I'm beginning to think that the free Uni distributions should default to "nothing open." They don't, of course---not yet, anyway. So the time has come where I need to close up the box. I still want port 80 open, and a couple of others. I need to be able to do a remote login. But that's pretty much it; the rest I'd like to configure on an as-needed basis. I'd also like to log all the sniffing it receives. So where do I start? I have a FreeBSD box hanging off a DSL connection. Where do I look for information on how to start locking the doors?
