Re: securing debian

[Ben Pfaff <pfaffben@pilot.msu.edu>]

   does there is a a reference for this package (say a web
   page,manual,etc...)it's because i'm a bit nervous to try an unknown (by
   me) package and removing any root access (which i can do anyway using the
   /etc/login.access,take a look at man 5 login.access for information on
   that topic),and yes i'm using shadow password.

There's a manpage that's quite helpful, if that's good enough.  And
you can always boot your system from a rescue floppy and change the
password on disk to whatever you want, if it comes to that.

FWIW, I ran a system in such a configuration for quite a while, until
I got tired of not being able to log in as root at all.
