   > Lots of writing by several people...

   A few questions about this C1, C2 etc....

   1.  Is there a suite to test a systems security level on these standards ?
       Satan doesn't do this....

   2.  How does a FreeBSD with DES and Kerberos rate ?  Is there a well-known
       number of things to do, starting with turn off fingerd I would suppose,
       that gets you to some rating level ?

   3.  Is there a newsgroup/maillist explicitly devoted to security issues.
       Or one where that traffic occurs ?
