ramblings of a {sys,net}admin…

There was an interesting post by Eugene Smith on the full-disclosure list today entitled How to Determine My System Vulnerabilities.

The post itself isn’t as interesting as the domain portion of Eugene’s e-mail address, mpls.frb.org. That’s the Federal Reserve Bank, folks.

Here’s Eugene’s original post:

I have three servers running Linux Red Hat OS. I would lke to find a source for information regarding “How Too” when it comes to determining what level of kernel, SSH, PHP, ect my servers are running. I do know how to check some of these things but am looking for someone who is very knowledgeble and is willing to answer questions about this OS.

Now, you tell me. Should we be worried?
