Hi,

I need to understand some issues reported by the seccheck tool that runs on linux boxes.

I´ve searched docs and howto´s on the internet but found anything.

Here are some examples:
_______________

Changes in your daily security configuration:

* Changes (+: new entries, -: removed entries):
+ sunrpc
+ The following NFS mounts haven't got the nosuid option set:
+ vb08:/opt/jboss on /opt/integrador/servidores/vb08 type nfs
+ (rw,addr=***.***.***.***)

I´ve replaced the real IP address by *.

* Changes (+: new entries, -: removed entries):
- mrtg root UDP *:38241
- mrtg root UDP *:38242
- mrtg root UDP *:38243
- mrtg root UDP *:38244
+ mrtg root UDP *:40480
+ mrtg root UDP *:40481
+ mrtg root UDP *:40482
+ mrtg root UDP *:40483

* Changes (+: new entries, -: removed entries):
- smtpd postfix TCP *:25 (LISTEN)

Checking the /etc/shadow file:
Login **** has an unsual password field length

I´ve replaced the real login by *.

Checking the /etc/group file:
Group bin(1) has got the following members: daemon

The following loadable kernel modules are currently installed:

There are many entries here.

What can I do about this?

Thanks,
André
