I praise you and nu on your vast knowledge about computers and stuff, but can you tell me what the next step I should take to stop people from logging into my computer using a SSH root login or whatever the f*** this/these a****le's are using to login into my computer ? I'm sorry for the language and the rudeness but I'm a complete noob to when it comes to Linux network security and my Dad isn't always on the Internet 24/7 to see potential risks on our home server, so I'd like to know how I can I stop being a potential risk to our home server, or do you guys know any links to free Linux books on Network security I could download ? free is better as my Dad is struggling to catch up in bills and we're already living on a prayer as it is and we're hoping to survive till the first of June
