Exercise 15: Octagon Systems


To disable, or make certain that remote administration is not enabled, on the system, log in as root and start YaST. Choose Network Services, Remote Administration. Only two radio button choices are available. Make sure that the one labeled Do Not Allow Remote Administration is chosen and click Finish.

Back in YaST, choose the Misc choice and View Start-up Log. This displays the contents of the /var/log/boot.msg file. Scan through this log and look for errors that are occurring. The most recent information is at the bottom of the file, which is where it opens to by default.

If anything suspicious does appear as you scan this file, you can choose to save it, print it, or use other utilities to view it if you want to scrutinize it further.
