Hi all,
Your point is well taken, Amanda. However I think I have solved the
security problems pretty well. First, I have my Linux set so that
nobody can log in as root unless they have an account on my system and
they know the PW. Second, I have Black Ice on the Windows side. It
seems to be doing its thing. Actually, if you run your DSL all the
time like I do, the same security problems present themselves. third,
when I get a little money, I'm going to buy a router/hub that is going
to act as the link between my computers and the outside world. You
must give any people you want on your system a login and PW on this
router,/hub, and nobody can get in otherwise.
Most of the problems come via Gates' Garbage folks who want to log
into your system. Since Gates' garbage can't even *see* linux, most
of the intermediate threats to security are solved right then and
there. Don' worry, we've got it all worked out. I appreciate your
warnings, though.
Ann P.
