Hi, list! Maybe you can help me with this: I'm about to install a webserver, which should have an http server, webmail, php support, dns, ftp, remote login and a couple more things. Obviously, with all those ports open, I must take every security measure I know (and some I don't). But here comes my doubt: should I jail the webserver with chroot? My first thought was "Duh, yes!", but thinking about it, having all those services running at the same time, do I really make any difference? It seems to me that in such environment a cracker (no, i'm not writing "hacker") could do anything he (maybe she?) wants... Ideas? Suggestions? Donations (cash, please)? C-you Martín
