but I don't think running a firewall on a unix desktop is necessary.
I certainly do. What about ssh multiple-login attacks? I know that pam
can easily fix this
(http://gentoo-wiki.com/GWikInstall_Essential_Daemons#Securing_SSH), but
I know there are other services (portmap) that can be vulnerable if not
blocked or selectively filtered.
Most geeks know to set a good password, but to generalize "unix desktop"
- that includes a number of grandmas, believe it or not.
