- Not Linux' fault; admin/user to blame here
-
I'm not sure what you're trying to say. Linux is at fault for the user choosing a weak password? It's at fault for your admin opening a hole in the firewall?
Enforce a strong-password policy and check users' passwords by running a cracking tool against the password file and any user with too weak a password has to change it. And as for the firewall, make the exception as narrow as possible -- to specific IP addresses or ranges of addresses. The whole world doesn't need to be able to get in. - Posted by: buran Posted on: 07/24/06 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
