Re: [Nolug] November 2002 NOLUG meeting notes

Thanx Kent,
  Below is a useful page I found with loads of ssh examples. Lots
of tips and tricks

http://www.doxpara.com/Advanced_OpenSSH.pdf

spamassissin is very useful. I just finished doing an install for my
company on our mail server running qmail. We use qmail-scanner in
conert with spamassassin and the clam antivirus daemon to filter mail.
Not an easy setup on Solaris but doable. Probably much easier to
do in an apt-get or ports world ;)
