[Chester LUG] Security

[Michael Crilly]

Firewall - again, what distro? Ubuntu has iptables ready to go. To
make it easier install firestarter.

I haven't installed antivirus my self.

If you are on ubuntu, then please! Reconfigure the default sudo
configuration file. It's poorly designed and a normal user's password
is as good as the root password - not good.
