are you taking an unnecessary risk? sure. are you compromising security? dunno. i have a cron job that starts and stops nfs on one of my systems at specified times. do people try to get in when its running? hell yes. but tcp wrappers has stopped them every time (fortunately). it's all a question of the risk you're willing to take. kind of like running through swamplands. do you think you can make it to the other side before the alligators come . . . because mine starts and stops at specified times (it's only open for a total of 3 hours a day), it's a very small window of opportunity. and, by using portsentry, hostsentry and logcheck, i can at least see what's going on when the window is open. - -- ____) ,_) (-(__ -|- _ _ ____) | (/_\/(/_ ( _______________________________________________ | mailto : [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | linux : http://exitwound.org | | mozart : http://mozart.sourceforge.net | | buck : http://www.BuckOwensFan.com | _______________________________________________ | High heels are a device invented by a woman | | who was tired of being kissed on the | | forehead. | _______________________________________________ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE6+uZnr9c0KwefYXMRAmI0AJ9NJOFfnWbnGMpI+0arnpIlGZCokgCfYrOu 3xH0hGd4SGHc9+G2/IuDFmY= =fUeQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
