[SuSe Linux] SecCheck tool by Marc Heuse

[Andre Rodrigues <acastanheira2001 () yahoo com br>]

Hi,

I need to understand some issues reported by the seccheck tool that runs on linux boxes.

I´ve searched docs and howto´s on the internet but found anything.

Here are some examples:
_______________

Changes in your daily security configuration:

* Changes (+: new entries, -: removed entries):
+ sunrpc
+ The following NFS mounts haven't got the nosuid option set:
+ vb08:/opt/jboss on /opt/integrador/servidores/vb08 type nfs 
+ (rw,addr=***.***.***.***) 

                      I´ve replaced the real IP address by *.


* Changes (+: new entries, -: removed entries):
- mrtg       root   UDP *:38241 
- mrtg       root   UDP *:38242 
- mrtg       root   UDP *:38243 
- mrtg       root   UDP *:38244 
+ mrtg      root   UDP *:40480 
+ mrtg      root   UDP *:40481 
+ mrtg      root   UDP *:40482 
+ mrtg      root   UDP *:40483 


* Changes (+: new entries, -: removed entries):
- smtpd   postfix   TCP *:25 (LISTEN)

Checking the /etc/shadow file:
Login **** has an unsual password field length

       I´ve replaced the real login by *.

Checking the /etc/group file:
Group bin(1) has got the following members: daemon

The following loadable kernel modules are currently installed:

       There are many entries here.


What can I do about this?



 Thanks,
André
