dear researchers,

we are in the midst of setting up a freebsd box that will pretty much
be up and connected all the time.  we are new at this and we a
learning a LOT of stuff.  the following link
(http://draenor.org/securebsd/secure.txt) has many suggestions that we
are looking at to help us secure our box.

a google search on 'securing freebsd' got that page for us.  we are
still working our way through the dreanor.org text, but in the
meantime, we would like a quick and dirty search for links of other
good pages/sites and or text, etc.

thank you in advance for your kind attention!

oh, not that this would make too much difference (i should think), but
this is for a pc at home and is for personal use.

thanks again.

A good place to start is through the FreeBSD people:

http://www.freebsd.org/security/
http://people.freebsd.org/~jkb/howto.html


The FreeBSD page has several links for security topics:

http://www.free-x.ch/


There is info on the "FreeBSD Hardening" Project:

http://www.watson.org/fbsd-hardening/

"The goal of the FreeBSD Hardening Project is
to develop a set of modifications to the base
FreeBSD system that, when applied, allow for
a far more secure environment."
