!Basic Machine Security:
* Don't use protocols such as telnet or ftp between machines on an untrusted network such as the internet - these send usernames and passwords around in clear text. Anonymous ftp is OK - you don't give away your details. Instead look into ssh (Secure Shell). This encrypts all data between the machines.
* Don't run unnecessary services (called "daemons" in UNIX) that allow internet connections - some distributions turn these on by default. Examples are mail or news servers and printer daemon (lpd). If you want to see a list of the daemons running on your machine, at a command prompt type:%%% netstat -aAinet%%%The lines that say "LISTEN" means a daemon is waiting for connections on the specified port.
