Re: Re: [gentoo-user] Protecting my server against an individual

["W.Kenworthy" <billk@iinet.net.au>]

and to add another (a biggy!)

defence in depth: if something goes wrong, its another barrier in the
way of the troublemakers.  What can go wrong?:

1. redhat used to install an anonymous ftp server by default (years
back).  Came in the next morning to the sysadmin swaring about traffic,
its the ones you dont know about/and a gig of warez on the drive
2. fault finding x problems you set xhost +
3. ...

Whilst 1 and 2 (in gentoo anyway) wont trouble you so much these days,
its the ones you dont know about/misconfigure that will get you ...
