How to resolve tiger --FAIL--


I would like to resolve these --FAIL-- directives from my tiger report.
If you know how to resolve any or all of them please let me know, thanks.

--FAIL-- [lin007w] Normal users can reboot the system through ctrl+alt+del in runlevels 12345

--FAIL-- [dev002f] /dev/nvidia0 has world permissions
--FAIL-- [dev002f] /dev/nvidiactl has world permissions
(for these 2, I did chmod o-rw but when i reboot they get reset)

--FAIL-- [lin013f] The system is not protected against Syn flooding attacks
--FAIL-- [lin014f] The system permits the transmission of IP packets with invalid addresses
--FAIL-- [lin016f] The system permits source routing from incoming packets

Thanks.

Change the file /etc/inittab and change the number to just 1

You would need to add a rule into udev for that. I'm not familiar with the rules stuff in it. I would genereally not recommend messing with your video card device though.

Add the line "net.ipv4.tcp_syncookies = 1" to the file /etc/sysctl.conf

Add the line "net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter = 1" to the file /etc/sysctl.conf (im not quite sure with this one, this is my best guess )
