Hi Gurus,

   I had another hacker atack to my system... this time more efective :(

   The hacker get the file /etc/passwd from my machine via tftpd... and
now I'll need to change all passwords :(

   I want to now what I can do to minimize this atacks... I try to install
C2 security, but I cant login as root after do that! (I need to restore
the system from a backup to grant access !)

   Someone can give me tips on what I can do to use shadow passwords,
and setup the C2 security!

                                            Thanks in advance,

                                                    Antonio.

Ps.: if someone needs TFTP like me... list all valid directories to tftp
from on the inetd.conf command line, without it anybody can get your
files!
