Sure, start with this: security(7) chflags(1) chown(8) chgrp(1) accton(8) ipfw(8) sockstat(1) natd(8) syslog.conf(5) For other topics try an apropos or man -k to search for it. Chances are, that there exists a manpage which will at least give you some idea of what to ask specifically. Then read back or search on the archives of -security. You will find the archives through the webpages. Also, sites like www.securityfocus.com are a great way to learn about security. Feel free to ask some specific questions about certain topics, since your initial questions is so broad it is hard to answer it in one e-mail. =) HTH, HAND, -- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven/Asmodai asmodai(at)wxs.nl The BSD Programmer's Documentation Project Network/Security Specialist BSD: Technical excellence at its best Everything comes to those who wait.
