Hi!
I guess I should introduce myself as well. Instead of just
lurking in the background. There are many reasons why I was not
introducing myself, but I guess I will anyway.
I am a system admin at Legato Systems, Inc. For the most
part I am the only unix/tcp/ethernet admin. Many people's jobs over
lap into mine, there are other admin's, and experts to ask. So,
I am not really alone at all. But I have been given some projects
which include network security, routing, and our internet firewall
to maintain. So, this is of particular interest. My boss is also
very interested as well. We have been reading the firewalls mailing
list for a while. I have been becomming unhappy with that list
as it just has to do with firewalls, and they are one paranoid but
not very productive group. Most of my security problems are internal.
I need to protect systems and applications from gung-ho employees,
and typo's more than we have ever had a problem with internet crackers.
Loosing directories, root access, etc is not only a problem but a
sensitive issue. So, I am looking for methods of protecting the
whole net. I am especially interested in new software and papers
on the subject. Currently, I am trying to sell suid and iss.
( Where is the latest ISS anyway? ) I am also trying to get cops
running on ever system.
I am pretty new to this part of sysadmin, and not
developing any tools on my own. I really do not have time.
Lately, I have not even had the time to read this mailing list. It
does seem pretty quiet. Are there any new root access tools?
Where is the latest ISS? Is there anything else like that? Is
anyone logging the cisco denied in v10? Condor was caught. What
did he get away with that threatens us? Are there any new tools
to protect us from any crackers armed by him?
