Some Vulnerabilities

• Putting "." in your path statement, especially for root

Trojan Horses typically exploit this by creating rogue versions of programs like "ls"

• Allowing ftp special accounts like uucp

Prevent this with /etc/ftpusers

• Allowing non-human users to log in

Prevent this by putting "*" as the password in /etc/passwd
