Apparently it's a program to help system administrators find holes in their system security--the only catch being that anyone in the world will be able to run it against any system on the net. So obviously it'll be a great tool for hackers... Does anyone know how FreeBSD 2.0 will stack up against this program? Are we going to have a bunch of holes discovered by teenagers just looking to make life difficult for us? Also, in Linux and System-V systems there are files called hosts.deny and hosts.allow that allow you to allow/deny access to specific hosts on the net to particular services (or all services). Are there any equivalents in BSD? I've read over the TCP/IP Admin. manual as well as scanned the man pages and I can't find anything. I have a number of sites that I'd like to block access from before the Satan program is released.
