Hello, Tiger run for the first time last night on my newly installed DEBox. Amongother messages I got the following statements: # Checking accounts from /etc/passwd. --WARN-- [acc001w] Login ID nobody is disabled, but still has a valid shell (/bin/sh). --WARN-- [acc006w] Login ID mail's home directory (/var/mail) has group `mail' write access. --WARN-- [acc006w] Login ID nobody's home directory (/home) has group `staff' write access. I'm new to the business of system administration and not quite shure on how to react to this. A 'chmod'-variety for the first and last? Also: what is this 'nobody' user? Program/demon specific? Can I, should I get rid of it? Tiger also complained that /sbin/bastille-firewall-reset /sbin/bastille-firewall-schedule /sbin/bastille-ipchains /sbin/bastille-netfilter are not supposed to be present - but after 'bastille' setup they are supposed to be here. How do I teach this to tiger? I suppose it is doable with those 'templates'? Have found no documentation on what that is/how itworks/how to set it up and would greatly appreciate any hint concerning this. Thank you, Johannes
