Yesterday evening, I used the firewall configuration tool to turn off ssh in the public zone, and then make the the change permanent. I also entered the commands * systemctl stop sshd * systemctl mask sshd * systemctl stop httpd * systemctl mask httpd This evening, I see nothing in the journalctl logs for today that look like attempts to hack in. Definitely good news! Thank-you, everyone. Follow-up questions: 1. I recall over the years several ways of connecting among computers: kermit (am I dating myself here?!), ftp, rlogin, telnet, ssh, sftp, and others. Are ***all*** these now blocked incoming? 2. I'm trying to get a fedora.people account. I'll be need to ssh and (s?)ftp(s?) out from my workstation into theirs. Will I still be able to do that? 3. It was suggested that I block ssh login to root and ssh login via password. Am I correct in assuming that I no longer need to do those things? If no, how do I do those things? thanks, Bill. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
