RE: shiva lanrover

["Sigler, Karl" <KSigler () nbg com>]

LanRover (now owned by Intel) is a pretty good RAS solution with eight ports
for modems and support for strong authentication. They kept the device
rather simple and stripped down, so I've found it to be easier to lock down
than other RAS solutions. It has telnet capability for management which can
be locked down (sorry, no ssh to my knowledge) and it's own java based
management tool (used to work with snmp. it might still???).

The only suggestions I'd have for you is to definitely put it in a DMZ and
use the strong authentication features to keep those lunatic wardailin'
phreaks at bay.

Subject: [fw-wiz] shiva lanrover


Someone at my company wants to intall a Shiva LanRover box (8 ports, no 
waiting) for dial-up access either behind the firewall or on a DMZ.  I 
think this is a 'fine idea', but I want to put it outside the 
firewall.  For some reason they don't want to go the ISP route.

I searched various places and found only one description of a security 
problem - by default there is a root account on the box without a 
password.  Does anyone know of any other problems with this gadget?

Thanks,
