“This week, multiple vendors released advisories for xchat,
ld.so, xlockmore, Netscape, zope, and Helix GNOME. We recommend
updating these packages immediately.
Our feature this week is
written by Eric Hines. It is a comprehensive guide to setting up
secure remote log servers. The article covers many topics ranging
from building and configuring syslogd, to securing the server. If
you have considered adding a remote log server to your network,
this guide will prove to be extremely helpful.”

“Privacy is still a major concern among Internet users. An
interesting article titled “Protect your Internet privacy by
Lying,” discusses how “privacy warriors” provide fake
names,
addresses, and other contact information to remain
anonymous.
Also this week, the FBI’s carnivore remains to be a
hot topic. Anti-carnivore advocates are now using this potential
breach of privacy as a platform to encourage the use of
encryption.”
