I am fairly new to FreeBSD, can anyone give me a set of common security ports that I could install that would be useful???

ive installed

/usr/ports/security/portaudit and logcheck and snort and sslwrap.

Thx

What would you install on any other OS? The same software is probably available on FBSD too.

Yea really it's a matter of preference and what you plan on doing with freeBSD that decides what ports you should install, since you are talking about security you could always install things such as Tripwire which is a file system integrity tool, Or Installing and configuring iptables isnt a bad idea although I think ipfw comes ready to go if you feel like making rules for that. There is always snort if you plan on using an IDS. Other then that I cant think of anything generic that would suit someones needs. Everything is really specific to what you plan on doing with your instalation.

Just an FYI -- iptables is a linux thing

If you feel you have nothing to do/install , do the following
, it will keep you busy for a while

haha that doesnt sound like a good idea from a security prospective!

Thanx for the info didnt know iptables was strickly linux
