Abstract
The activities concerning the administration of several Debian-based servers, closely related to the activities concerning the administration of networking and firewalling infrastructures of the Research Area of the CNR of Pisa, allowed us to experiment, over time, different measures to increase the security of these types of systems. In addition to the measures that can be implemented at the network level, using - also and not exclusively - border firewalling devices, there are several generic security measures that can be directly implemented on those Debian-based systems for which we want to increase the level of security. This document presents a possible subset of all measures belonging to the latter category, providing suggestions and details on potential implementation methods.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
