1. Check your ppp.log or ppp.tun0.log in /var/log
Hi,
I was having a look through my FreeBSD 2.2.2 system last night after
compiling myself a new kernel, so was feeling pretty chuffed about it
(being my first FreeBSD kernel) when I noticed that the directory and
contents of /var/log/ were world-readable.
While it's pretty understandable that some log files have world
attributes it seems INSANE that ppp.log (or, in my case, ppp.tun0.log)
be world-readable. After a quick cat of the file I found, for all to
see, plain text copies of my ISP password visible.
I suppose it's prudent to run around clamping all these files down, but
it strikes me as odd that they'd default to world-readable.
Well, it's probably not a major discovery, but I'd thought I'd bring it
to your attention anyway.
Cya,
