["Stephen P. Casmar" <scasmar@example.com>]

2. Linux machines

We have seen an increase in break-ins and root compromises of Linux
machines. In some cases, the intruders are installing packet sniffers
on Linux machines. If you are use Linux on your machines,
we recommend that you keep up to date with patches and security
workarounds. We also recommend that you review

attacks
ftp://info.cert.org/pub/cert_advisories/CA-94:01.README

The advisory describes sniffers and suggests approaches for
addressing the problem; the README file contains updated information.

We also recommend that you monitor the Linux newsgroups and mailing
lists for security patches and workarounds. Additionally, a World Wide
Web page that some sites reference is
