Does anyone happen to know any good ways of securing my linux box from people outside our network?

Then install some monitoring programs. There are several that will notify you via email if there is a problem. Mike
I would like to address this same question. Though I have "hosts allow =192.168." AND "interfaces = eth1 192.168.168.2/23 127.0.0.1/24" lines in my smb.conf file, other DSL customers using my same ISP are apparently sync'ing with my nmbd over my public eth0 interface. I know I can block everything out using ipchains (and will!) however I'm currently testing a new VPN setup and want to keep things open to rule that out as a source of blocking. Can I perhaps be using the parameters incorrectly? Should I also use the "bind interfaces only" parameter? Thanks, Michael Blinn People Places, Inc.
