security

i have huge security problems with my slack 9.0 box, most of the packages are default off the cd, i config iptables to drop any traffic originating from outside unless it's going into port 22 so i can log in from uni (dynamic ip :[) or my mobile, etc. and a few ports for mldonkey.

does anyone else have these problems?

i'm currently looking at putting it behind NAT on a windows box (eek).

anyone know of an up to date HOWTO for slack 9?

What "huge security problems"
would that be?

If only port 22 to is open
the only thing to worry about
is the length of your passwords,
and NATing won't change that ;)
