Well , there is wonderful book on WWW/FTP/WAIS/GOPHER/Mailing lists with rather solid emphasis on security of these services. And againg this is O'Reily Nutshell series. The title is : Managing Internet Information Services. Cricket Liu 1-56592-051-1 ISBN All reqd software is PDomain , incl. NCSA HTTPD , WU FTPD , IRC , GOPHER , INN - so just grab sources , compile and enjoy. You'll need a 2-3 diffrent E_mail front-ends ( the favorites are pine and elm), 2-3 Usenet News front-ends ( tin , trn & nn ). A couple of user-friendly editors ( I use _only vi and emacs , so pls forgive me :(( - like pico , jed , jove and alike ( two modes in vi are so :)) confusing ). Probably you'll need also a kinda menu - which will meet users after login - instead of cryptic tcsh prompt :). Well , that's about it ... May be POP3 server for SLIP/PPP users ... As for general security - stay tuned to these masiling lists , so you'll be the first who hear about new security hole ( if any ) and will be able to take appr. actions. To me FreeBSD looks pretty secure . Most problems were not deep inside of OS - but rather some "slips" :)) If you're really paranoid - study source code carefully before installing a product - so you'll be sure it's clean > > Sincerly bewildered > J.
